In this article (with further details under See also:CRETE) will be found an See also:account of the controversy regarding the Cretan discoveries of Dr A. J. See also:Evans. Supplementary to this See also:comparative survey are the articles See also:PALAEOGRAPHY, See also:INSCRIPTIONS, WRITING and See also:PHONETICS. The first two See also:deal with See also:ancient documents of all kinds: PALAEOGRAPHY with those specimens of ancient writing, See also:literary, economic or legal, which were committed to codices, tablets or rolls by the use of the stilus, the See also:reed or the See also:pen; INSCRIPTIONS with documents engraved on See also:stone or See also:metal.
