It would be interesting if the fragments of writing are similar to those on the Phaistos Disc...

It would have been nice if they'd published a picture of it, it's easily the most interesting find in the entire history of that dig. That suggests that the find is problematic for the conventional pseudochronology.

I cheated and read the full article. They don’t identify the type of writing but most likely it would be Linear A. Linear B may not have been developed yet by the time of the eruption of Thera.
