This occurs when the text carved into the front surface of a monument appears to slightly influence the tool marks made on the reverse side, even when the material is sufficiently thick to prevent physical transfer.
   Scholars hypothesize that this is not a transfer of physical material but a localized [acoustic resonance](/entries/acous…
