Not that it's clear this will help us get any closer to a decipherment, but even without that it remains an incredible new attestation of the uses to which Linear A was put, and indeed the media which supported inscriptions.
One of the reasons we can make less of Linear A than other generally legible but undeciphered languages (like Etruscan) is the lack of continuous text -- so much of what we have is limited to spartan administrative documents.
Below the level of the 'Fetish Shrine' was a Neopalatial cultic building -- this is where they found the ivory sceptre with Linear A (this, alas, is the only picture we have).
“Pythagoras confined himself in an underground hole and told his mother to tell people that he had died.”
