This is one I picked up a while ago and haven't got to yet:

The Riddle of the Labyrinth: The Quest to Crack an Ancient Code

It might not be exactly what you want, as while it features the excavation of Crete by a noted archaeologist, Arthur Evans, much of it is devoted to interpreting the language on tablets discovered there, with enormous importance to the study of the ancient Greeks. However, it is available as an ebook.

I was interested to learn in another recent read that the scholar who cracked the language used a lot of techniques developed in code-breaking during World War II.
