@CJHandmer
wrote an in-depth blog post about his manual "crackle" method of (potentially) finding ink in the Herculaneum Papyri — very much worth a read and exploring further!! (note that this is still unverified by us :))
Here's a write up on my research as of June. 19 or so unverified characters on two lines. Maybe a word or two. We're getting closer.
