[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3181844, member: 19463"]The part I found interesting was the pot contained an 'invoice'. "A "mokkan" wooden tablet, less than 1 millimeter thick, was discovered at the edge of the lid, and “nihyaku rokuju” (260) had been written on it with an ink brush. If the words “represent two hundred and sixty ‘kan’ (1,000 coins), the coins could total 260,000,” said an official." Now I want to see a careful count of the contents and see how far from the stated number are found.[/QUOTE]
