Linear B
In 1946, Kober received a one-year Guggenheim Fellowship to study Linear B full-time. Making the acquaintance of John Linton Myres, she gained access to many more Linear B inscriptions collected by the archaeologist of Knossos, Sir Arthur Evans, and hand copied most of them at Oxford University in 1947. Kober's major discovery was that Linear B was an inflected language, difficult to write in a syllabic script.
