Minutes from the Epigraphy Seminar: The Decipherment of Linear B
The opening proceedings of the Cambridge epigraphy seminar examined the recent decipherment of Linear B clay tablets recovered from archaeological excavations at Knossos, Mycenae, and Pylos. Architect and cryptographer Michael Ventris delivered an exhaustive presentation detailing the structural classification of eighty-eight distinct syllabic signs.
