        Have you ever wondered how the alphabet first appeared in the ancient near east, 
        or wanted to get some idea just what pieces of early alphabetic writing have been found? 
        This app will show you those things and more. Most of the various recognised examples of 
        early writing are shown on a combined map and timeline – get a quick overview of the big 
        picture, or zoom in and find out more about individual finds. Many of the items are linked 
        to online images or web pages describing them in more detail. New fragments are emerging 
        in archaeological digs year by year, and this app will track such developments as they 
        come to light.
