Vellum, animal skin, animal belly lining, rock walls, etc. Go to either of these sites and post your questions: nationalgeographic.com or the Library of Congress' website at: loc.gov. Either site should give you more information than you need for whatever schoolwork project you have right now. Have fun!

I think a chisel and stone. Maybe on cave walls. Boy, paper must have been some advancement.
They used bones as oracles. I just looked it up!

Sheets of brass, even gold, have long been a form of recording man's histories. And they stand the test of time better than papyrus can.
