In the later Middle Ages the surface of the vellum was usually scraped away with powdered pumice, irretrievably losing the writing, hence the most valuable palimpsests are those that were overwritten in the early Middle Ages.
The original writing was scraped and washed off, the surface resmoothed, and the new literary material written on the salvaged material.
