Linear A sign A328

A328 is a sign label, not a translation. Linear A remains undeciphered as of 2026, so no secure word, sound, or object reading can be given for this sign. If someone sends it alone, ask what they intend rather than assigning it a meaning.

Crete's Bronze Age society is often called Minoan. Its earliest pictographic writing tradition dates to around 1900 BCE; Linear A appears around 1800 BCE. Linear A sign A328 is attested in early records from Phaistos, a site on Crete. The script also appears elsewhere in the Aegean and remains attested into the 14th century BCE.

Why was Linear A used?

It recorded goods and some ritual offerings. Linear A appears in administrative records: tablets tracked goods entering and leaving storerooms, while clay vessels used numbers and logograms—signs that stand for goods or measures. Stone offering tables and some ritual or funerary objects also carry formulaic inscriptions.

Linear A and Cretan Hieroglyphic were distinct but partly overlapping Cretan scripts; early Phaistos records share some sign forms and bookkeeping practices. Linear B later reused much of Linear A's sign inventory to write Mycenaean Greek. Those script-level links do not establish a reading for A328.
