Synchronizing the Destructions of the Mycenaean Palaces

Mykenische Studien

The series ›Veröffentlichungen der Kommission für mykenische Forschung‹ was established in 1972 with the aim of presenting research results relating to Linear B-texts as well as to contributions to Aegean prehistory in the form of monographic studies. From 1973 onwards it frequently featured the title ›Mykenische Studien‹. In 1994, its name was changed to ›Veröffentlichungen der Mykenischen Kommission‹; the now subtitle ›Mykenische Studien‹ was only used occasionally. Since 2013, the series is named ›Mykenische Studien‹ and is still dedicated to publications on Greek prehistory (especially on the Bronze Age) at the Austrian Archaeological Institute.

The series editors are Reinhard Jung and Michaela Zavadil, with copyediting by the Department of Prehistory & West Asian/Northeast African Archaeology of the Austrian Archaeological Institute.

Synchronizing the Destructions of the Mycenaean Palaces

The Late Bronze Age Mycenaean palaces in southern and central Greece stood at the head of the earliest state system on the European continent. The authors, all leading scholars in Bronze Age research and often engaged in excavating the palace sites themselves, focus in their contributions on the most recent progress in pottery studies, in order to arrive at precise relative chronological dates of the destruction events. The investigated archaeological sites range from Crete in the south to the...

(Social) Place and Space in Early Mycenaean Greece

International Discussions in Mycenaean Archaeology, October 5–8, 2016 in Athens

The Mycenaean culture of Greece (ca. 1700–mid-11th century BC) has left an outstanding material legacy in terms of buildings and artefacts. For a long time, its exploration has focused on palaces and funerary monuments. However, in recent years the state of research has changed significantly, opening up new perspectives for a broader understanding of the emergence of Mycenaean culture in the 17th to 15th centuries B.C. The contributions in this volume provide new information, either insights...

Tradition and Innovation in the Mycenaean Palatial Polities

Proceedings of an International Symposium held at the Austrian Academy of Sciences

The Mycenaean palatial polities, which flourished approximately between 1400 and 1200 BC, are the first states on the European mainland. For that reason they play an important role for the study of the development of social systems. In these conference proceedings concepts of traditions and innovations are viewed from historical, art-historical, administrative, palaeographical and technological perspectives. The papers discuss aspects that are essential for understanding Mycenaean society in...

Studien zu mittel- und späthelladischen Gräbern in Messenien

Tombs are an important source for reconstructing ancient social structures. The region of Messenia in south-western Peloponnese was a centre of the Middle and Late Helladic culture (2100/2000–1200 BC). Basis of the present study of tombs in Messenia is a catalogue of 57 find-spots with about 240 tombs. With an analysis of the topographical setting of the tombs, of their architecture and of the burial gifts which were found, the book offers a contribution to the better understanding of the...

Mittel- und Spätbronzezeitliche Keramik Griechenlands

The volume intends to be not only a straightforward presentation of the Middle and Late Bronze Age pottery from Mainland Greece, including the islands of Aegina and Paros, stored in the Schachermeyr Collection at the Austrian Academy of Sciences, but also to offer an in-depth discussion on a selection of related topics. The presentation of a collection such as this is even nowadays justified not only by Schachermeyr´s high degree of connoisseurship and thus selection of highly representative...

Ein Trojanischer Federkrieg

Die Auseinadersetzungen zwischen Ernst Boetticher und Heinrich Schliemann

In December 1883, a dispute began between Ernst Boetticher and Heinrich Schliemann over the latter´s interpretation of his research in Troy. After studying Schliemann´s book on his excavations in Troy, published in November 1880, Boetticher was convinced that Schliemann had misinterpreted the excavation results and had not found a settlement, but a fire-necropolis. In strongly-worded articles he criticized Schliemann, his colleague Wilhelm Dörpfeld as well as Rudolf Virchow. The dispute finally...

Keimelion

Elitenbildung und elitärer Konsum von der mykenischen Palastzeit bis zur homerischen Epoche / The Formation of Elites and Elitist Lifestyles from Mycenaean Palatial Times to the Homeric Period

The topic of the papers presented at the congress Keimelion are conspicuous consumption and other strategies of the elites in the Aegean from the time of the Mycenaean palace states, from the post-palatial period and the time of the new formation of the Greek world in the first millennium BC. New interpretations of the Homeric epics and of the numerous archaeological finds, which have come to light in recent years, will promote the understanding of the elites of these periods. These elites...

Xρονολογία Comparata

Vergleichende Chronologie von Südgriechenland und Süditalien von ca. 1700/1600 bis 1000 v. u. Z.

The comparative chronology set out in this book correlates the relative chronological phases of the Aegean and Italy for the time period between c. 1700/1600 and 1000 BCE. The time frame is determined by the available contact finds; it covers the whole Aegean Late Bronze Age from LH I/LM IA to Submycenaean/Subminoan, on the one hand, and the Italian phases from MBA 1 to FBA 2, on the other. For the establishment of the comparative chronological system various artefact categories are analysed,...

The Knossos Od Series

An Epigraphical Study

This study is an epigraphical investigation of the Linear B records from the West Wing in the palace of Knossos. Its focus is the group of 61 unclassified Od tablets with the ideogram for wool. The author presents a new classification of the Od tablets by identifying new sets, and by integrating unclassified Od tablets into existing Od sets or into other series recording wool, such as the two well known and thoroughly researched "bureaux", the textile and the sheep administration. Recent work...

LH III C Chronology and Synchronisms

Proceedings of the International Workshop held at the Austrian Academy of Sciences at Vienna May 7th and 8th, 2001

The topic of the international "LH III C Chronology and Synchronism" Conference 2001 was to clarify the chronological sequence of the Late Helladic III C periods of the 12th and 11th centuries B.C., which followed the fall of the Mycenaean palaces and their advanced civilisation. The importance of this period is in the communication of the Mycenaean cultural achievements through the "dark ages" up to the culture of the classical antiquity. Since SH (LH) III C* was an illiterate culture, it is...
