This clay tabled, dated to 1450-1375 BC is Minoan and was found at Knossos by Arthur Evans. It records quantities of oil apparently offered to various deities. Linear B is one of three scripts to survive from Minoan Crete. Hieroglyphic and Linear A, possibly representing the native Cretan language, have not been deciphered yet. Linear B was used to write an early form of Greek, and was used for a large number of records at Knossos. The tablets found always recorded the management of palace resources and no historical, literal or religious texts have yet been discovered.
