Rethinking Mycenaean Palaces II, Revised and Expanded Second Edition

edited by Michael L Galaty and William A Parkinson

This second, revised, edition of Rethinking Mycenaean Palaces builds on the 1999 volume, and reproduces in Part I the original edition in its entirety. Part II of this volume includes five new chapters that address areas of interest that were not included in the first edition: on the Corinthia, Thessaly, "Mycenaean" Crete, elite goods production, and inter-regional trade, by Pullen and Tartaron, Adrimi-Sismani, Driessen and Langohr, Schon, and Cline, respectively. These chapters were added to complement the studies included in the 1999 edition, which focused exclusively on the southern Mainland, and mostly on Messenia. (Cotsen Monograph 59, Cotsen Institute of Archaeology 2007)

Review Quote

"Like its predecessor, it is an important addition to the study of the Mycenaean world and deserves a place on the shelf of scholars and advanced students interested in the Aegean Bronze Age or early states. [...] both editions of RMP make important contributions toward increased communication between two divides: one between anthropological and Aegean archaeology, the other between archaeologists and textual scholars. The bridging of these gaps is an important task and a prerequisite for progress in understanding the full complexity of Mycenaean states. As the editors note, much work remains to be done. This new edition is a significant and much-needed step in the right direction."
