# The mathematical values of fraction signs in the Linear A script: A computational, statistical and typological approach

Michele Corazza, Silvia Ferrara, Barbara Montecchi et al., 2021. _Journal of Archaeological Science_.

Combines palaeography with a computational search over value assignments to give the Linear A fraction signs a consistent set of values that make the tablet totals work. Volume 125, 105214.
