Description
Research report providing a petrographic and chemical analysis of a large sample of Mycenean potsherds from Pylos. The author saw a unique potential for a small bounded, relatively well studied state as Pylos to give information in a comparative framework on the organisation and origin of early state systems. Investigation of pottery industry provided a means to avoid an overreliance on historical data in order to augment and sharpen our complex largely text-based theoretical models.
