The Kafkania pebble is a small rounded river pebble about {{convert|5|cm|in}} long, with Linear B symbols and a double axe symbol inscribed on it. It was found in Kafkania, some {{convert|7|km|mi|abbr=on}} north of Olympia, on 1 April 1994 in a 17th-century BC archaeological context. If it were genuine, it would be the earliest writing on the Greek mainland, and by far the earliest document in Linear B. However, it is in all probability a modern forgery and a hoax. InscriptionThe pebble bears a short inscription of eight syllabic signs in Linear B, possibly reading {{lang|gmy-Latn|a-so-na / qo-ro-qa / qa-jo}}. The reverse side shows a double-axe symbol. The inscription is identified by some{{who|date=February 2011}} to be in Mycenean Greek, but that identification remains disputed. It has been suggested that such an isolated example of Linear B script indicates, at best, an early stage of Mycenaean writing at the time of origin.[1] G. Owens suggests that the inscription is Minoan in origin rather than Mycenaean. Then, a Minoan could have written the text for a Mycenaean. No evidence exists that the Mycenaean Greeks wrote before the Linear B archive of Knossos.[2] ForgerySeveral specialists in Mycenaean epigraphy have expressed serious doubts about the authenticity of the inscription; indications that it is a modern forgery include:[3][4][5][6]
