The Gezer Calender: History of Media

        This was a palet of soft limestone written in Hebrew. The calender describes monthly or bi-monthly periods of their harvest, and was found 30 miles northwest of Jerusalem. Anthropologists think this was either from farmers recording information about his crops for taxes, or even possibly a folk song.
       This is important to media history because it shows that writing and communication was used for things other than story telling, and history. This document I do not think was even intended to last this long, it had a short term use, which for back then seems like a pretty big leap in media use.


Here is the site where I found the information on the Gezer Calender:
