(I completed a thesis regarding Aceramic Neolithic architecture in the Taurus/Zagros foothills in May 1996.) The designated sources are the primary ones; all of the others mention the site in a more cursory or interpretive way. The special Turkish letters will probably look strange in the text document. best, Laura D.

One interesting approach is numeration, an issue that did not raise its ancient metaphors at the recent Cincinnati conference (that discussed Avaris, Hyksos and Minoans). A Minoan scholar and I have been discussing plausible Minoan and Egyptian connections. One connection is ancient numeration. Prior to the Minoan scholar's suggestions I followed Dirk Struik's Historia Mathematica reading of Linear A, as I further analyzed the texts, that all Minoan numeration was Horus-Eye (1 = 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 + 1/32 + 1/64 + ..., rounded off to 6-places. Note that the Egyptian Old Kingdom form of numeration followed the Sumerian, Babylonians and Chaldean base 60 infinite series practice in several respects). One diversion from infinite series metaphor is the Middle Kingdom Egyptian hieratic exact notation was provided by one Minoan document: 4/5 = 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/20 That is, the Minoan p/q conversions to unit fraction series were sometimes exact, as Middle Kingdom Egyptians practiced, as described by the 2/nth table of the Rhind Mathematical P, EMLR, Moscow P. and every Greek, Roman and Byzantine arithmetical document. This fact may be important in two ways. First, Linear A numeration may have been based on close contacts with Egypt during the Middle Kingdom, rather than only the Old Kingdom, as implied if only Horus-Eye would have been present. In brief summary, the seldom considered ancient numeration, seen through trade 'weights and measure' and numerical symbols/series fragments, are often difficult to decode - as primary or secondary. As readers of ANE may agree, on Cyprus, Linear B appears to be primarily base 60, and secondarily base 10 (Egyptian). Given Cyprus Linear B-type close historical contacts, what primary or secondary use of Linear B base 60, and Egyptian fractions have been found on Crete before 1,500 BC? Plausibly, Minoa could have been primarily Egyptian, using Old and Middle Kingdom numeration, and not used any base 60 (since weights and measure numeration fragments are unavailable).
