Which artifact is associated with the Pre-Industrial Age?

Public information and record-keeping before machines and mass production is the focus here. Acta Diurna in Rome is an ancient daily public bulletin used to post news and official notices for citizens, showing organized public information in a pre-Industrial society. It predates printing presses and modern electronics, placing it firmly in the pre-industrial era. By contrast, a transistor radio is a modern device from the 20th century; cave paintings are from prehistoric times, far outside this context; and a wood-block printing press spans medieval times but still follows earlier print techniques and isn’t as clearly tied to a public, state-led information system in the pre-industrial period.
