<p>2605:E000:2D81:DD00:5C8C:4DE:3014:561: </p> <hr /> <div>A '''squeeze''' or '''squeeze paper''' is a reverse copy of an [[Epigraphy|inscription]], made by applying moist [[filter paper]] and pushing into the indentations by percussive use of a stiff brush. The paper is allowed to dry and then removed. The image is reversed from the inscription, and protrudes from the squeeze paper.<br /> <br /> The use of a squeeze allows more information to be gleaned than examining the original inscription, for example curves inside the cutts can identify the scribe who originally carved the inscription.&lt;ref name=&quot;TIH&quot;&gt;Taking Inscriptions Home University of Reading, Ure Museum&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Squeezes can also (and some have been since the 1950s) be made by applying layers of [[liquid latex]]. This method works best on horizontal surfaces.&lt;ref name=&quot;TIH&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Modern digitising methods mean that the image can be restored to the original orientation.<br /> <br /> Large collections of squeezes are held by the [[Inscriptiones Graecae]] and other epigraphic collections.<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> *[[Rubbing]]<br /> ** [[Brass rubbing]]<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{Reflist}}<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> * [http://www.asia.si.edu/research/squeezeproject/sq_making.asp Squeeze making] at the Smithsonian Institution<br /> * [https://fromstonetoscreen.wordpress.com/2013/07/15/squeeze-making-in-the-athenian-agora/ Squeeze Making in the Athenian Agora]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Epigraphy]]<br /> <br /> <br /> {{Archaeology-stub}}</div>
