Ancient inscriptions testify to widespread literacy in Judah by 600 BCE

Ancient inscriptions testify to widespread literacy in Judah by 600 BCE:

Ceramic shards found within the remains of the remote ancient fortress of Arad tell the story. Studying 16 ink inscriptions, researchers found at least six different authors.

That suggests high degree of literacy in ancient Hebrew writing among officials of the military and administrative apparatus – in other words, not just professional scribes – in the kingdom of Judah before the fall of Jerusalem at the hands of Nebuchadnezzar in 586 BCE.
