The wedge-shape letters characteristic of cuneiform script was pressed into (7)______
the damp clay. Gradually papyrus scrolls replaced the clay tablets because

papyrus plant. The strips were pasted together to form long sheets. A stick
was attached to each end of the sheet, which was then wounded up to form (9)______
