The Kafkania pebble is a small rounded river pebble about 5cm long with Linear B symbols and a double axe symbol inscribed on it. It was found in Kafkania, some Template:Convert north of Olympia, on 1 April 1994 in a 17th century BC archaeological context. If it were genuine, it would be the earliest written testimony on the Greek mainland, and by far the earliest document in Linear B. However, it is in all probability a modern forgery and a hoax.
