Almost all Linear A tablets, most in a fragmentary condition, have been found on the island of Crete, dated to the [[Neopalatial Period]]. At that time Crete was divided by mountains and other geographic features into a number of polities, each with its own urban center.<ref>E Kyriakidis, "Undeciphered tablets and undeciphered territories: A comparison of late minoan IB archives", Proceedings of the Cambridge Philological Society, no. 49, pp. 118–29, 2003,</ref> These tablets have been found at [[Hagia Triada]] (147 tablets), [[Petras]], [[Phaistos]] (26 tablets), [[Knossos]] (6 tablets), [[Petsophas]], [[Archanes]] (7 tablets), [[Myrtos Pyrgos]] (2 tablets), [[Zakros]] (31 tablets), [[Tylissos]] (2 tablets), [[Malia (archaeological site)|Malia]] (6 tablets), [[Gournia]] (1 tablet), and [[Kydonia|Khania]] (99 tablets).<ref>Gallimore, S., and K.T.
