σου αθήνα goodbye cambridge hello athens i ve been a postdoctoral research fellow at gonville caius college cambridge for the last four years as part of this fellowship i ve continued the work i began during my phd looking at ways to understand more about the remaining undeciphered signs of linear b the sound values of fourteen of this writing system s eighty seven syllabic signs are still uncertain nearly 70 years after the script as a whole was deciphered my monograph based on my thesis the undeciphered signs of linear b interpretation and scribal practices which has just been published with cup not only tries to establish as much as is currently possible about the most likely types of sound value each of these signs may have but also uses them to explore wider issues about the linear b writing system s creation from its parent script linear a and its use by the mycenaean scribes to write administrative documents other publications arising from my phd include an article called the mystery of the mycenaean labyrinth the value of linear b pu 2 and related signs which looks at one particular sign whose exact sound value is debated due largely to its appearance in the word labyrinth da pu 2 ri to and the implications its interpretation has for the relationship between linear b and linear a and a book chapter processes of script adaptation and creation in linear b the evidence of the extra signs which explores similar issues to do with the initial creation of linear b but also investigates the script s ongoing development as the writers who used it created new

traces of this part of the writing process marks on the clay showing that something has been erased and if we re lucky enough of the original signs that we can read what the writer originally wrote before they erased and perhaps re wrote the text traces like these in the administrative linear b texts from late bronze age greece c 1400 1200 bce are the subject of my latest article scribes as

day and baking double bill cypro minoan my fellow ancient writing system researchers in the crews project have organised a cypro minoan seminar reading group this term to coincide with the visits of two visiting researchers who work on ancient cyprus cassie donnelly and giorgos bourogiannis who have written about their research here and here cypro minoan is an undeciphered writing system used in the late bronze age early iron age mainly on the island of cyprus but also at the site of ugarit on the coast of syria my recent ish post about undeciphered writing systems focused on those found on crete so didn t include cypro minoan but a lot of the same issues arise with trying to understand it the corpus is very small 200 odd inscriptions widely dispersed both geographically and chronologically and consists of a very wide range of different types of inscribed objects from probably administrative clay tablets and balls to inscriptions on metal bowls clay figurines ivory pipes and seals and we don t know what the language s it represents is are as is now traditional for this week s seminar i made a baked version of one of the inscriptions we ve been looking at six signs

had a review published by the bryn mawr classical review of louis godart and anna sacconi s supplemento al corpus di iscrizioni vascolari in lineare b supplement to the corpus of linear b inscribed stirrup jars a collection of drawings photographs and transcriptions of all the linear b inscriptions painted onto so called stirrup jars after the shape of the handles since anna sacconi first published her corpus of these inscriptions in 1974 an epigraphic corpus isn t i admit the most thrilling thing to read cover to cover but it s vitally important for researchers to be able to access details of these inscriptions without having to trawl through several decades worth of archaeological publications often in fairly obscure places to track them all down the isjs themselves are also a particularly interesting important and problematic set of linear b inscriptions since they re the only large group of texts written in this script that aren t written on clay tablets within a palace or other administrative centre they re produced all over crete probably written by the same people who made and or painted the pots and found in various places on crete and the greek mainland not just in palaces but also in places with no other known use of the linear b script and even in tombs they re the subject of all sorts of ongoing debates from what the inscriptions were for some say they re marking the jars and the oil or wine they contained as gifts being sent from one palace to another others myself included say they were used to keep track of production as part of the same administrative system as the linear b tablets to what they mean for levels of literacy in linear b to what extent could the people painting these inscriptions read understand the signs they were painting for more information you can read the review here and also check out the article i wrote a few years ago about the isjs which is freely available here author anna p judson posted on october

writing in the cambridge festival of ideas cambridge based readers of this blog may be interested to know about two events focusing on ancient writing that i m involved in as part of the festival of ideas which starts today october 15th and runs until the 28th raiders of the secret scripts this is a free drop in event for adults at the museum of classical archaeology 7 9pm on friday 19th have a go at deciphering inscriptions to follow the trail around the gallery all necessary information provided try your hand at writing a curse tablet find out more about different ancient writing systems and have a glass of wine at the same time i ll be there to help out and answer your questions along with colleagues of mine from the crews project on the edge writing in roman britain this is a lunchtime talk in the classics faculty on wednesday 24th 1 15 2pm it s also free but prebooking is required the festival s fairly loose theme is extremes so i thought it would be fun to look at the written texts from one of the extreme edges of the roman empire britain has produced a remarkable range of documents from gravestones to letters legal documents to curses and much more including some remarkable recent finds of writing tablets from the city of london come along to find out more about what these documents are who wrote them and what they tell us about life in roman britain author

the last few days over the discovery of a clay tablet at the ancient greek sanctuary of olympia home of the original olympic games with 13 lines of the odyssey inscribed on it it s certainly a very nice find unlike in the late bronze age period that i study inscriptions of any kind on clay tablets are unusual at this point the 3rd century ce when greece was part of the roman empire though it s fair to say that most of the excitement has been due to the homeric text and particularly to the claim that this is the oldest text of any part of the odyssey as plenty of other classicists have been quick to point out this isn t actually true there are plenty of earlier texts of parts of the odyssey e g on papyri from egypt and the oldest known example is an inscription on a potsherd from olbia modern ukraine dating to the 5th century bce this is just a quick post to provide some helpful links for anyone wanting to know more about this find here is the original press release from the greek ministry of culture in greek here is a blogpost by the philological crocodile correcting some of the errors that have appeared in a lot of the media reports and speculating that the inscription could be a votive offering by a rhapsode a reciter of the homeric poems here is a very detailed blogpost by kiwi hellenist with a transcription and annotated photograph as well as lots more details and a
