A Greek-style temple of the 6th century BC was recently excavated at Torre Satriano in Italy. Many of the pieces were inscribed with assembly instructions. These are clear enough that the archaeologists were able to recreate the roof from the inscribed pieces. Slide show here. One of the inscribed pieces is above, and a fragment of terra cotta frieze from the temple below.
