Mycenaeans in Bavaria? Amber and gold from the Bronze Age site of Bernstorf

Antony Harding & Helen Hughes-Brock Antiquity 91.359 (2017): 1382-1385

In August 1998 the German archaeological world was stunned when two amateur archaeologists found decorated gold-sheet ornaments on a hill in Bavaria north of Munich, near a farm named Bernstorf, in the commune of Kranzberg. A Bronze Age fortified enclosure was known there, local amateurs having excavated it earlier in the 1990s; later, permission was granted for gravel extraction, trees were cleared and it was in this disturbed area that the gold appeared.

Working for a feast: textual evidence for state-organized work feasts in Mycenaean Greece

Jörg Weilhartner American Journal of Archaeology 121.2 (April 2017): 219-236

Communal feasting has provoked much interest among scholars of Aegean prehistory. Discussions of the archaeological, archaeozoological, and textual data of the Mycenaean Palatial period have provided important insights into the role of this ritual practice as part of a sociopolitical strategy of the Mycenaean elite.

Communication networks, interactions, and social negotiation in Prepalatial south-central Crete

Sylviane Dédérix American Journal of Archaeology 121.1 (January 2017): 5-37

The results of the GIS analyses emphasize that circular tombs were as a rule constructed near optimal paths. Nevertheless, the spatial pattern testifies to synchronic and diachronic variations, which, examined in the light of the distribution of non-Cretan grave goods, support the conclusion of previous research that different social strategies underlay the appearance and adoption of this burial type throughout the study area.

Foodways in Early Mycenaean Greece: innovative cooking sets and social hierarchy at Mitrou and other settlements on the Greek mainland

Bartłomiej Lis American Journal of Archaeology 121.2 (April 2017): 183-217

Through the analysis of the cooking pottery repertoire, I investigate the issue of how food was manipulated by those competing for status. I argue that the appearance of innovative cooking utensils and their sets can be associated with changes in food-preparation practices, leading to more elaborate cuisine.

Imported exotica and mortuary ritual at Perati in Late Helladic IIIC East Attica

Sarah C. Murray American Journal of Archaeology 122.1 (January 2018): 33-64

I examine the context, distribution, and characteristics of imported objects at Perati and argue that the cemetery was the setting for a wide-ranging array of mortuary rituals that involved the deposition of exotic objects with members of the community across spectra of wealth, age, and gender.
