The media is probably ancient. That is, I suspect that the parchments and papyri are all from antiquity, but which have been written upon in modern times. The leather bits are interesting since I have doubts that they even survive from actual parchment documents. Many of them look like bits of ancient leather from old shoes or wine skins.
