- Abstract
- After having been at the centre of dispute for half a century, the chronology of the Knossos tablets seems no longer a point of contention. This paper first examines whether this lack of interest is a reflection of the fact that all now acknowledge one or the other chronology or rather testifies to the acceptance of defeat and the realization that an unambiguous answer will never be possible. It next covers what we know about the archaeological contexts of the Knossos tablets and reconsiders their diachronic importance. An attempt is made to connect the different architectural phases of the palace with individual Linear B deposits and to detect changes in the ways administrative practices were carried out during the different moments.
