We don't have any mentions of amber that I'm aware of in Linear B - I'm pretty sure there isn't any. But the archives are related to centralised storage and distribution, with only indirect hints at international trade (e.g. substances that must be imports), so that's not surprising.

It was my colleague @philipjboyes.bsky.social who put it online (he's on leave for a while now) and I confess I haven't watched the whole thing through. We had some difficulties with the soundtrack on this one if I remember correctly.

Oh that's odd, thank you for letting me know. I'm not sure when I'll be able to investigate but I will when I can.
