	Corpus of Egyptian Early Dynastic Inscriptions on Stone Vessels
		The stone vessels inscriptions are made by incisions on the (generally outer) surface of the vessel; very few examples are known which have been carved in relief.
		It was a wooden pole with a stone or two heavy bags tied on one end (to augment by their weight the penetrative effect) and a stone or copper point at the other end (often set in the crescent shaped extremity).

		PALERMO STONE [Palermo stone] ancient Egyptian stone of fl diorite engraved toward the end of the 5th dynasty (2565-2420 BC) and containing the earliest extant annals.
		It is a hieroglyphic list of the kings of ancient Egypt before and after Menes, with regnal years and notations of events, and also includes such information as the height of the flooding of the Nile in various years.
		The stone was so named because it is housed in a museum in Palermo, Italy; small pieces of the stone are also in Cairo and in London.

		The Palermo Stone records a campaign to Lower Nubia in the reign of Snefru that may be associated with graffiti in the area itself.
