Question 35

Letters in the stone

An original narrative about an invented archaeological excavation.

A flat stone was raised carefully from the trench and carried to the workbench. A line of carved lettering crossed its surface, but packed soil filled most of the grooves. At first, I could distinguish only the final two letters.

The conservator loosened the earth with a soft brush. As each groove was cleared, another part of the inscription appeared. Until the cleaning began, most of the words had been obscured.

Explain the meaning of “obscured” as it is used in this passage.
