This paper offers new high-resolution oxygen and carbon isotope data from Stalagmite S1 from Mavri Trypa Cave, SW Peloponnese. Our data provide the climate background to the destruction of the nearby Mycenaean Palace of Nestor at Pylos at the transition from Late Helladic (LH) IIIB to LH IIIC, ~3150–3130 years before present (before AD 1950, hereafter yrs BP) and the subsequent period.

Pu-ro, pa-ki-ja-na/ne, and the Sanctuary of Poseidon at Pylos

Barbara Montecchi Studi Micenei 2 (2016): 143-160

The focus of this paper is the relationship between the two most important place names mentioned in the Linear B tablets from Pylos: pu-ro (alphabetical Greek Πύλος) and pa-ki-ja-na/-ne (possibly *Σφαγιᾶνα/ες). This paper investigates the possibility of a sub-level territorial organisation and, as a consequence, that one of these two place names may be a form of district name, while the other may be the name of the main settlement within such a district.

Value, Power, and Encounter between the Eastern and Central Mediterranean during the Late Bronze Age

Francesco Iacono Studi Micenei 2 (2016): 100-118

Despite the ubiquity of situations of interaction and cultural contact in the ancient Mediterranean, the confrontation and re-negotiation of notions of value in such contexts has been seldom the focus of scholars. This paper will examine this aspect in the context of encounters occurring as a result of long-range interaction in the 2nd millennium BC.

Cretan Hieroglyphic at Myrtos-Pyrgos

Silvia Ferrara, Judith Weingarten & Gerald Cadogan Studi Micenei 2 (2016): 81-99

Two Cretan Hieroglyphic seals and three Hieroglyphic seal impressions have been found at the Minoan settlement of Myrtos-Pyrgos on the south coast of Crete west of Ierapetra. The excavation has also produced an inscription that is more likely to be Hieroglyphic than Linear A.
