British architect and decipherer of Linear B, a type of Minoan script. He learned of the undeciphered Minoan script when he heard a lecture by Evans as a boy, and continued to study it even after he grew up and became an architect. In 1952, he revealed that Linear B was early Greek, and succeeded in deciphering it. His achievement was highly praised as a major contribution to elucidating the Minoan civilization, but he died young on September 6, 1956, in a traffic accident.
