The shape of tokens coresponds to written symbols ========================= From Mnamon Ancient writing systems in the Mediterranean A critical guide to electronic resources http://mnamon.sns.it/index.php?page=Scrittura&id=35&lang=en
“The Cretan Hieroglyphic script is a non-deciphered writing system found in Crete and, sporadically, on the islands of the Aegean Sea (Kythira and Samothrace)th from the 18-th to the 17th centuries BC, the period of the so-called “First Palaces” on Crete. All the same, it is possible that it was first used in the “pre-palatial” period. In fact, some seals from central Crete, datable from the 21st to the 19th centuries BC, present traces of a similar writing system (the so-called “Archanes script”, named after the place where the seals were found).” Image from same site

===== THE QUESTION IS ==========
If you give to some childs modelling clay for making some simple shapes, finally how many will show by chance this shape ? 1 out of 200; 1 out of 600; 1 out of 1.000 ?
Probably as Mr. E.Papakitsos and G.Kenanidis allready advanced the hipothesis, (me sustaining also with own arguments) that all Aegean writing systems, (beginning with Aegean Proto-Linear) – has a fillum=genetic relation with sumerian proto-cuneiform writing. & early minoans were sumerian migrants
Davis (2014) as well. Such a well-studied nearby agglutinative language of the 3rd millennium BCE were the Sumerian. Thus, instead of claiming that a very complex writing system had been intentionally devised, we may adopt a simpler explanation, according to the Ockham’s Razor principle (Rodríguez-Fernández, 1999), which is that
LA (and LB) script is a typical case of alloglottography (Rubio, 2006). According to the CP theory, the Sumerian scribes, who invented the original script, had to write in languages other than their own mother tongue, which can deduce that all the “non-Minoan” languages being written with LA/LB are quite distorted.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I suppose that this sumerian “influence” was exercited in Crete and Cyclades (note that oldest remains in Aegean/EBA=EarlyBronzeAge are in Cyclades). Further, I suppose that from Cyclades (as Tartaria artefacts found close by are evidenced), this early writing (carried by a 1-st,2-nd degree relative trader, metal prospector/craftsman ?), reached Danubian area, so we have the “mysterious Tartaria tablets”.
