Abstract

This paper discusses the program logic for an attempt at using coding to aid in the decipherment of Linear A, the writing system of the Ancient Minoan Civilization. Using Python, a system can be created to compare Linear A strings to lexical lists and dictionaries of languages from a compatible time period.
