Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Mycenaean civilization thrived between 1650 and 1200 BC. The Mycenaeans were influenced by the earlier Minoan civilization, located on the island of Crete. This influence is seen in Mycenaean palaces, clothing, frescoes, and their writing system, called Linear B.

Detailed explanation-2: -Linear B Script was the writing system used by the Mycenaean civilization.
