Approaches to Homer
Economic Interplay Among Households and States
This Forum has made progress on both its stated research themes: control of craft production and the newer topic of markets. My comments take up the issues of household economy, state control, and markets. First, I discuss developments at the second-order center of Nichoria, which show both independent activity and the effect of incorporation into the state of Pylos. Excavation of another such settlement at Iklaina promises to support and expand …
The Individual and the State in Mycenaean Greece
Understanding of Mycenaean palatial administration has moved from a monolithic view of the palace as having total control over the economy of a given state, to a binary model that imagines a non-palatial sector of the state economy alongside the palatial. Further research suggests, however, that we should rather think of a continuum, with individuals and groups involved in various ways and to various degrees with the central palatial administrati…

Economy and Administration
Introduction Mainland Greece in the Early Mycenaean period (LH I-II) was home to a number of political centers competing for resources, power, and territorial control (Ch. 10, pp. 242- 51). By the beginning of LH III the most successful developed into full-fledged states, political structures administered from central places of power. These central places are marked archaeologically by the monumental buildings we call palaces (Fig. 11.1; Ch. 11, …

al quality was clear from beginning, as she achieved that rarity, a summa cum laude A.B. from Bryn Mawr College in 1950 (in Greek and Philosophy), followed by a Fulbright scholarship to American School of Classical Studies at Athens (1950-1951). Here began Emily's career in field archaeology, despite her claim that she wandered down to Athenian Agora excavations out of pure greed (in quest of afternoon tea and biscuits). Her first scholarly artic…

The Palatial Bronze Age of the Southern and Central Greek Mainland
Herodotus 2.96. 1–2 Again
As A. B. Lloyd points out, the passage from Herodotus which includes this sentence is the most important non-Egyptian commentary on Ancient Egyptian shipbuilding. In the years following the discovery of the Dynasty IV ships buried beside Khufu's pyramid at Giza ( c. 2500 B.C.), J. S. Morrison suggested a change in the translation of the word (⋯ν)επ⋯κτωσαν. Traditionally, and in Lloyd's commentary, the verb ⋯μπακτ⋯ω has been interpreted as meaning…
