Distinguish a plant resource, a crafted object and evidence of use. Read what each card actually describes. Crossing layers place strips across another layer, not alternately over and under. A written record is evidence of particular activity, not proof that everyone wrote or that its contents are true.
Worked example
A reed and a blank mat show a resource and a made object. A note listing two mats received models record keeping. To check the reported delivery, ask who made the note, why, and what independent evidence exists.
Three Invented Exhibit Cards
Historical background: ancient Egyptian craftspeople made papyrus writing sheets from plant-stem strips in crossing layers. Papyrus also had other uses. Our cards are invented teaching models, not real objects or translations. P describes a blank papyrus sheet. Q describes a note on papyrus saying 9 rolls were delivered. R describes a papyrus basket. No maker, date or independent delivery evidence is supplied. These three cards do not say how many people could write. Use the supplied pictures; no plant collection, cutting or processing is needed.
