What Wikipedia says

The Cypriot or Cypriote syllabary (also Classical Cypriot Syllabary, or Linear C) is a syllabic script used in Iron Age Cyprus, from about the 11th to the 4th centuries BCE, when it was replaced by the Greek alphabet. It has been suggested that the script remained in use as late as the 1st century BCE.
