Linear A - Senmoji A

Japanese: 線文字A - せんもじエー
Linear A - Senmoji A
A script found on clay tablets and seals on the island of Crete, consisting of syllabaries and a few ideograms, which has yet to be deciphered. It was used from the Middle Minoan III period (c. 1800 BC) to the Late Minoan I period (c. 1410 BC), and contains 75 symbols, 54 of which are the same as Linear B. However, whereas Linear B was found only in a few areas, such as Knossos and Pylos, Linear A has been found throughout Crete, including at Knossos, Phaistos, Tylissos, Zafer Papoura, Kato Zakros, Palaikastro, Malia, and Hagia Triada, with over 150 tablets having been found at Hagia Triada.
