Good news for you, Ole Hagen, but have a little patience.

The rosette of 8 petals in the center of the Tiryns side of the
Phaistos Disk, emphatic Ss of Ss-ey-r for Zeus, would be a reference
to a much older Minoan calendar (a variant of my hypothetical Halafian
or even pre-Halafian calendar from northern Mesopotamia). One week
has nine days, five weeks yield 45 days and are represented by a petal,
the 8 petals yield 360 days, and the small circle in the center of the
rosette represents 5 and occasionally 6 days, yielding a regular year
of 365 days, and a leap year of 366 days. 21 continual periods of
45 days yield 945 days and equal 32 lunations (one lunation or
synodic month lasts 29 days 12 hours 44 minutes 2.9 seconds,
modern value from 1989 AD).

Now there may be a second lunisolar calendar encoded in the
Phaistos Disk. The Elaia side has 30 fields, and the Tiryns side 30
fields. 7 x 30 days plus 5 x 31 days yield a regular year of 365 days,
6 x 30 days plus 6 x 31 days yield a leap year of 366 days. 30 plus
31 days are 61 days. A leap year consists of 6 long periods. The
long period of 61 days can also be used for a much more advanced
lunisolar calendar than the Halafian one and its Minoan variant:
198 long periods of 61 days yield 12,078 days and equal 409
lunations or synodic months (mistake per lunation less than three
seconds), while 964 long periods of 61 days yield 58,804 days
and equal 161 tropical years (mistake per year less than four
seconds; one tropical year being 365.24219879 days). The
simple yet clever algorithms for obtaining these values can be
found in the thread "A Sumer-China connection" subthread
"hypothetical Yangshao calendar (early China)" from March 31
and April 1 of this year, as I recall. I shall publish my algorithms
again in the Lascaux thread.

According to Derk Ohlenroth, the bead lines mark the ends of
the Elaia text and of the Tiryns text. According to me, they mark
the entrance of Elaia's grove at Phigalia, and the entrance of Tyrins
in the Argolis. According to you, they can be counted as signs in
their own right, and added to the 242 other signs, so that we
obtain 244 signs for 244 days, which, according to you, represent
8 months.

A year of 8 months? In principle, this could have been a sacred
cycle comparable to the tzolkin cycle of 260 days of the Maya.
If you consider such a calendar, feel free to do so, but please
explain how to use it.

Your number of 244 signs fascinates me in another way. 244 is
a multiple of 61 and would thus confirm the second more advanced
lunisolar calendar as explained above.

Hope you can make something of this piece of calendaric mathematics.
