# The First 'European' Writing: Redefining the Archanes Script

Roeland P.-J. E. Decorte, 2018.

**Cretan Hieroglyphic** Articledoi: **[10.1111/ojoa.12152](https://doi.org/10.1111/ojoa.12152)** 0

## What it's used for here

Oxford Journal of Archaeology 37(4), pp. 341 to 372. Re-examines the earliest inscribed seals from Crete, the so-called Archanes script of the late Prepalatial period (EM III to MM IA), and the recurring Archanes formula, and argues that the group should be defined on its own terms rather than as early Cretan Hieroglyphic or Linear A. Abstract not retrieved in this session; content summarised from the 2024 volume and Donnelly's review.
