## Where it stands

## What it predicts

- Signs on the disc recur on securely excavated Phaistian material found after 1908.
- Pernier's daybooks record the find consistently with the published account.
- A thermoluminescence date on the clay falls in the second millennium BC.

## What would rule it out
