Arthur Evans
Excavator of Knossos; named and first catalogued the script 1851–1941.
Arthur Evans is british archaeologist who excavated Knossos from 1900, found the Hieroglyphic Deposit, and published the first sign list of the script in Scripta Minoa I (1909). (1851–1941), and appears in the record of Cretan Hieroglyphic as excavator of Knossos; named and first catalogued the script.
Two events on the site involve Evans, from Evans uncovers the Hieroglyphic Deposit in the palace at Knossos (1900) to Evans publishes the first sign list of 135 signs in Scripta Minoa I (1909).
One question rest in part on what Evans did or said, among them “How many distinct signs does the script have?”, which stands open: 2 answers, none ahead.
