Understanding linear a through the lens of maritime history during the bronze age

Abstract

Last but not least, I would like to show my appreciation to CoHASS for giving me this amazing opportunity to experience working on a Master thesis. I must also say that I actually enjoyed grading the undergrads' essays much more than I would have expected. Even though the past two years hasn't been a bed of roses, especially with the ups and downs in my life, I probably would not want to trade this experience with anything else. "When life is sweet, say thank you and celebrate. And when life is better, say thank you and grow." All in all, danke to all the important people in my life and the eventful experiences presented to me. The Kimberly right now would not have been the same without you. To life, and the people around me, I dedicate this thesis.

A Systematic Review of Computational Approaches to Deciphering Bronze Age Aegean and Cypriot Scripts

“…The total number of signs from all 1370 known Linear A documents is estimated to be between 7362 and 7396 (Schoep 2002). Out of all these signs, 97 are unique, and 64 of them are implemented in Linear B with slight modifications (Tan 2022). Average word length in Linear A documents is 3.3 signs (Fuls 2015).…”

“…Linear A and Linear B scripts have approximately the same number of signs (Melena 2014). Out of 97 unique Linear A signs, 64 of them are implemented in Linear B with slight modifications (Tan 2022). Syllabograms common to both Linear A and Linear B, alongside their phonetic transcriptions, are listed in (Melena 2014).…”
