Ancient writing paper (7)

I believe the answer is:

papyrus

(Other definitions for papyrus that I've seen before include "Early form of paper" , "Paper made from reed by ancient Egyptians" , "Egyptian material for writing on" , "Egyptian writing matter" , "Kind of paper used in old Egyptian manuscripts" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
