The journal is also a member of CrossRef. The American School of Classical Studies at Athens is a research and teaching institution dedicated to the advanced study of the archaeology, art, history, philosophy, language, and literature of Greece and the Greek world. Established in 1881 by a consortium of nine American universities, the School now serves graduate students and scholars from more than 180 affiliated colleges and universities, acting as a base for research and study in Greece. As part of its mission, the School directs on going excavations in the Athenian Agora and at Corinth and sponsors all other American-led excavations and surveys on Greek soil. It is the official link between American archaeologists and classicists and the Archaeological Service of the Greek Ministry of Culture and, as such, is dedicated to the wise management of cultural resources and to the dissemination of knowledge of the classical world. Inquiries about programs or membership in the School should be sent to the

Mycenaean pottery, the ceramic assemblage characteristic chiefly of the central and southern Greek mainland during the Aegean Late Bronze Age, began within a decade of the first discovery of substantial quantities of this artifactual class in the initial exploration of the chamber tomb cemeteries at Ialysos on Rhodes by A. Billiotti and A. Salzmann, and Heinrich Schliemann's better-known excavations at Troy, Mycenae, Tiryns, and Orchomenos. However, it was Carl Blegen's careful stratigraphic excavations of 1915–1916 at the Corinthian coastal site of Korakou that first permitted virtually the full temporal range of Mycenaean ceramics to be outlined by employing a tripartite system modeled after that devised by Sir Arthur Evans for the Bronze Age pottery of Minoan Crete less than twenty years earlier.

Mycenaean civilization takes its name from the hilltop citadel of Mycenae in the Argolid, celebrated in Homer’s epics as “rich in gold” and the capital of Agamemnon. In 1876, Heinrich Schliemann, fresh from his excavations at Troy, which in his view had established the historical reality of the Greeks’ legendary siege and sack of that city, unearthed five astonishingly rich tombs at Mycenae and claimed them to contain the burials of Agamemnon and his followers, thus inaugurating the study of Greece’s Late Bronze Age (LBA) past. One and a half centuries of subsequent fieldwork have exposed the remains of hundreds of settlements and thousands of tombs characterized by the distinctive material culture termed Mycenaean that flourished for over six centuries (c. 1700–1050 bce). This lengthy duration of the mainland Greek LBA (better known as the Late Helladic [LH] or Mycenaean era) is conventionally subdivided into three major stages of development: pre-palatial or early Mycenaean (LH I–...

Introduction Fifteen years’ worth of excavations at Kommos from 1976-85 and again from 1991-95 produced abundant quantities of LM IIIB pottery from a wide variety of contexts. Such contexts can be differentiated according to how they were formed, where they are located, how large they are, what lies directly above and below them, and what kinds of activities they represent. The pottery from these contexts was sorted, recorded, analysed, and eventually published by two different ceramic analys..

The upper citadel at Mycenae is the upthrown block or horst between two active normal faults, both represented by prominent scarps. The northeastern fault is thought to have moved during Mycenaean times (in this case between about 1650 and 1300 BC). On the southwest side, the more famous Lion Gate fault zone and its fault scarps are involved in the archaeology of at least three features: the gate itself, Grave Circle A, and the Temple Complex, the latter built across one of these scarps. One outcrop exposure of this scarp has been thought to have had cultic significance, to which we can now add that the scarp apparently provided the focus for a curious arrangement of adjacent cultic paraphernalia, resulting in an intriguing puzzle of original intent and perception.

Chapter 1 in this volume described materials and building forms as they were used during Middle Minoan IIB through Late Minoan IIIB in the Civic Center at Kommos. At the same time the chapter focused on the material evidence for use as represented by courts, interior spaces, successions of floor levels, and other stratigraphy, drawing when possible from more detailed discussions in other chapters dealing with pottery, plasters, and miscellaneous finds. Chapter 2 discussed the types and forms of both painted and unpainted plasters used to decorate and strengthen walls, floors, and ceilings. Chapter 3 delineated the varieties of pottery and decorative styles of more than five hundred years of Bronze Age occupation and use. The analyses there, sometimes definitive enough to isolate previously unnoticed stylistic changes, provided much of the relative sequencing in Chapter 1, aside from furnishing evidence for area use. Chapter 4, on miscellany, contributed to the latter as well. By con...

Eleven anthropological contributions aim to define more accurately the term "palace" in light of both recent archaeological research in the Aegean and current anthropological thinking on the structure and origin of early states. Arguing that regional centers interacted with more extensive sociopolitical systems, the authors claim that the concept of palace must be made more in tune with a model which more completely integrates palaces with their networks of regional settlement and economy.
