Eric H. Cline, Assaf Yasur-Landau & Nurith Goshen American Journal of Archaeology 115.2 (2011): 245-261.

During the 2008 and 2009 excavations at Tel Kabri, more than 100 new fragments of wall and floor plaster were uncovered. Approximately 60 are painted, probably belonging to a second Aegean-style wall fresco with figural representations and a second Aegean-style painted floor.

Redistribution in Aegean palatial societies. By appointment to his majesty the Wanax: Value-added goods and redistribution in Mycenaean palatial economies

Robert Schon American Journal of Archaeology115.2 (2011): 219-227.

Rather than treating redistribution as an undifferentiated economic function, scholars currently recognize that multiple forms may occur simultaneously. In this Forum Article, I focus on one such form in detail, specifically, the redistributive system that financed the production of prestige goods at the Palace of Nestor at Pylos. I employ the manufacture of chariots, perfumed oils, and textiles as case studies.

Redistribution in Aegean palatial societies. A view from outside the palace: The sanctuary and the Damos in Mycenaean economy and society

Susan Lupack American Journal of Archaeology115.2 (2011): 207-217.

The Linear B offering tablets at first seem to indicate that Mycenaean palaces engaged in a form of redistribution with respect to the religious sphere. That the palace sent offerings caused many scholars to assume the religious sector was dependent on the palaces for its daily maintenance.

Redistribution in Aegean palatial societies. Redistribution and political economies in Bronze Age Crete

Kostis S. Christakis American Journal of Archaeology115.2 (2011): 197-205.

Palatial authorities in Bronze Age Crete traditionally are thought to have functioned as centralized redistributive agents, reallocating wealth to the community as a whole and providing security in times of crisis. These institutions were gradually transformed, however, into mobilizers of wealth, rendering support exclusively to the elite and their associates.

Redistribution in Aegean palatial societies. Before the palaces: Redistribution and chiefdoms in mainland Greece

Daniel J. Pullen American Journal of Archaeology115.2 (2011): 185-195.

This article examines redistribution as formulated by scholars of the later Mycenaean palatial economies to ascertain its applicability to the Early Bronze Age (EBA) mainland. Lacking textual sources in the EBA, the emphasis is on archaeological correlates of redistribution as both a mode of transaction and as an institution.

Redistribution in Aegean palatial societies. Redistributive economies from a theoretical and cross-cultural perspective

Dimitri Nakassis, William A. Parkinson & Michael L. Galaty American Journal of Archaeology115.2115.2 (2011): 177-184.

In this article, we address the historical question of why Aegean Bronze Age economies are characterized as redistributive systems and whether it is appropriate to continue to describe them as such. We argue that characterizing the political economies of the Aegean as redistributive is inaccurate and misleading.
