# Notes on the Authenticity of the Phaistos Disk

Pavol Hnila, 2009. _Anodos. Studies of the Ancient World 9_.

Examines Pernier's integrity, the find circumstances, the disc's manufacture and its signs against Eisenberg's claim, and concludes the evidence favours authenticity, chiefly because sign 21 recurs on a sealing found in a secure 1955 context. Anodos 9 (2009, printed 2010), 59–66.
