Abstract
Mycenaean architecture is a topic widely investigated by archaeologists, from typological and/or technological and/or artistic perspectives and, more recently, from the socio-economic point of view. The present study gathers and fully analyses, for the first time, all terms and expressions which refer to buildings (chap. I), builders (chap. III), and supplies of building materials (chap. IV) in Linear B texts. Besides the philological discussion, textual evidence is compared with the related archaeological remains. Because the vast majority of buildings mentioned in the Linear B documents is linked to the religious sphere, all Mycenaean buildings with certain or possible religious functions are collected and discussed in chap. II. Finally, chap. V collects and discusses archaeological evidence of the workforce involved in the construction of monumental structures (= for ruling elites), such as tholos tombs, palaces, fortification walls in Cyclopean masonry, roads, bridges and dams, with the aim of detecting work phases, the different tasks required and the builders’ social make-up.
