The specimen was put on display at the city's Archaeological Resource Centre (now known as DIG), the outreach and education institution run by the York Archaeological Trust.[2] In 2003, it broke into three pieces after being dropped whilst on exhibition to a party of visitors.

Via a fun thread on Reddit about people would otherwise have been lost to history, here's the oldest known letter from an angry customer. Remember folks, if you find yourself in ancient Babylon and need some copper to hurry up the discovery of the telephone or something, don't get it from Ea-nasir.
