Editing Phaistos Disc (section)

Yves Duhoux (1977) dates the disc to between 1850 BC and 1600&nbsp;BC (MMIII in [[Minoan chronology]]) on the basis of Luigi Pernier's report, which says that the disc was in a Middle Minoan undisturbed context.<ref name=duho1977>Yves Duhoux (1977): ''Le disque de phaestos'', Leuven.</ref> Jeppesen (1963) dates it to after 1400 (LMII–LMIII in Minoan chronology). Doubting the viability of Pernier's report, [[Louis Godart]] (1990) resigns himself to admitting that archaeologically, the disc may be dated to anywhere in Middle or Late Minoan times (MMI–LMIII, a period spanning most of the [[2nd millennium BC|second millennium BC]]). [[Jan Best]] suggests a date in the first half of the 14th century BC (LMIIIA) based on his dating of tablet PH-1.<ref name=acht2004/>
