The Phaistos Disk: An Enigmatic Artifact in its Cultural Context

Giorgia Baldacci, 2021. The Ancient Near East Today (ASOR), vol. 9.11.

A specialist's summary of the find context (room 101, Pernier's notes, Militello's 2013 and 2015 re-examination), the date (start of MM IIIA, c. 1750 BC) and the parallels in Phaistian potmarks and a 1955 sealing that bear on authenticity.
