A short while ago we published a silver pin from the British excavations at the Minoan necropolis of Mavro Spelio by Knossos, on which there was revealed, during the cleaning for purposes of preservation by Mr. Antonio Phountoulaki of metal objects in the Herakleion Museum, a long inscription in characters of the Linear Script A.1 Another silver pin in the Herakleion Museum, of diiferent provenance, was recendy cleaned by the same specialist, and to our surprise we saw that this too was engraved with a long inscription of the same System of writing (Pl. I, Fig. 2).2 This pin (No. 498 in the register of the Herakleion Museum) came, according to the catalogue of metal objects, from the excavations in 1914 by Stephanos Xanthoudides of Tholos Tomb A at Platanos in the Mesarä.
