How Not to Decipher the Phaistos Disc: A Review Article
Yves Duhoux, 2000. American Journal of Archaeology.
Reviews Faucounau's Greek decipherment and sets out the checks any reading must pass: accurate text, right direction, plausible script type, honest sign count (about 60, not 88 to 95). Suggests the language is closer to Linear A than to Greek. AJA 104(3), 597–600.
What it's used for here
