<p>While <a href="Archaeological_excavation" title="Archaeological excavation">excavating</a> the archeological phase of Troy now known as Troy II, Heinrich Schliemann unearthed various objects he believed to depict a Trojan script.

<p><a href="Philology" title="Philology">Philologists</a> attempted to <a href="Transliteration" title="Transliteration">transliterate</a> the signs as <a href="Ancient_Greek" title="Ancient Greek">Greek</a>. Professor Haug attempted to translate the seal; he claimed to have read the words “<i>ta.i.o.si.i.go</i>.” Haug believed this meant “to the divine Sigo.” He argued that the deity “Sigo” appeared in the names of <a href="Sigeion" title="Sigeion">Sigeum</a>, <a href="Karamenderes_River" title="Karamenderes River">Scamander</a>, and <a href="Sicyon" title="Sicyon">Sicyon</a>. Austrian classical philologist <a href="Theodor_Gomperz" title="Theodor Gomperz">Theodor Gomperz</a> attempted to decipher this same inscription. Although Gomperz utilized the same method as Haug, he instead chose to read the seal from right to left instead of from left to right. He claimed it translated to “to the divine commander." Gomperz went on to translate four more terracotta seals. However, other scholars were alarmed that perfect Greek had been found in Trojan inscriptions, and the inscriptions should predate the form of Greek which was used. These translations were soon revealed as erroneous; they had been based on a mistranslation of the Cypriot script. British <a href="Assyriology" title="Assyriology">Assyriologist</a> <a href="Archibald_Sayce" title="Archibald Sayce">Archibald Sayce</a> attempted to read the translation utilizing more recent advancements in academic understanding of the Cypriot syllabary.

<p>In 1994 <a href="Louis_Godart" title="Louis Godart">Dr. Louis Godart</a> republished the inscriptions and identified the script as <a href="Linear_A" title="Linear A">Linear A</a>. This identification has been controversial: archeologist Massimo Perna rejects this theory as "highly unlikely." According to Perna, the signs found on the spindle whorls appear in numerous other ancient scripts and ornaments, and that any analysis of the signs is problematic due to inability to analyze the original finds.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Alternately, Edwin L. Brown argued they were written using Linear A to transcribe a dialect of the <a href="Luwian_language" title="Luwian language">Luwian language</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-:2_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:2-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Luwian was a <i><a href="Lingua_franca" title="Lingua franca">lingua franca</a></i> in late Bronze Age western Anatolia, and as yet the only accepted evidence of writing at Troy is a scribal <a href="Seal_(emblem)" title="Seal (emblem)">seal</a> inscribed with <a href="Luwian_language#Hieroglyphic_Luwian" title="Luwian language">Luwian hieroglyphs</a> found in Troy VIIb1.

</p><p>Another inscription in the Trojan script was found in Troy II.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_2-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Soviet historian of antiquity Nikolay Kazansky found them more similar to <a href="Linear_B" title="Linear B">Linear B</a> signs,<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEKazansky1984_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKazansky1984-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> while another Soviet historian, Arkady Molchanov, regarded them as "imitation of writing". Regardless of any similarities the Trojan symbols have with Linear B, those from Troy II date from about a thousand years before the development of that script.
</p><p>Archaeological analyses of the inscriptions have indicated that Troy III (2250–2100/2050 BCE) and Troy IV (2100/2050–2000/1950 BCE) predate Linear A, Troy V (2000/1950–1900/1850 BCE) coincides with linear A, and Troy II (2600/2550–2250 BCE) may be an intermediate link to <a href="Bronze_Age" title="Bronze Age">Bronze Age</a> societies such as the <a href="Usatove_culture" title="Usatove culture">Usatove</a> or <a href="Ezero_culture" title="Ezero culture">Ezero</a> cultures.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_2-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>Inscription № 2445 is illegible and seems to have partly deteriorated; several signs may be identified as fragments of Linear A or Linear B signs but not as whole signs.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_2-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Classicist Edwin L. Brown claimed that two of the spindle whorls can be read as "PI-MI-D/MI-D/TA." “PI-MI-D” can be translated as “<i>Pimidas</i>”, a personal name in the possessive <a href="Genitive_case" title="Genitive case">genitive</a>. “Pi” or “Piya” appears in many ancient Anatolian names such as <a href="Piyama-Radu" title="Piyama-Radu">Piyamarandu</a> or Pissillis. Similarly, “MI-D/TA” appears frequently in ancient Anatolian names such as Mita, Mida, and Midas. In <a href="Luwian_hieroglyphics" class="mw-redirect" title="Luwian hieroglyphics">Luwian hieroglyphics</a> the name “Mita” means “servant.” However, in this context it may refer to devoted servitude of a deity. “<i>Puri(y)as</i>” may be read as a noun in the nominative singular or plural form” It is possible that this word is a cognate with the Hittite word “<i>Purpura</i>,” meaning “dumpling” or “lump.” If “<i>Puri(y)as</i>” shares the same meaning, then the term may refer to the spindle whorl itself, which was made of a lump of clay. It is possible the entire sentence may be translated to read: “Pimidas’s spindle whorl” or perhaps as “The spindle whorl is Pimidas’s.”<sup id="cite_ref-:2_3-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:2-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
