This chapter presents the results of a Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of samples of wax present on the surface of the Roman wooden writing tablets to determine if they were remains of Roman beeswax. The findings, however, indicate the samples to be paraffin wax, a material dating to the 1930s that was probably used for their preservation.
