A list recording items and their quantities, often used to manage supplies or possessions.
Used by OCR
Paper 3
Revise: Linear B tabletsMany tablets are inventories or lists of transactions. They record animals, agricultural goods, manufactured objects and the people involved in palace activities. Lists of sheep and wool, for example, help historians investigate livestock management and textile production.
For significance, connect a recorded detail to an inference: inventories of goods reveal organised palace administration, while the language provides evidence that the Mycenaeans spoke Greek.
