Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Another Aegean prehistorian looks at the evidence for and against EBA contacts between Wessex and Mycenae, and finds the British exotic material far less isolated when considered in its European context. For instance, the proportions of our double-axes show very close similarity to their Aegean counterparts; two Cypriote weapons, together with the Pelynt sword fragment, lose much of their uncertainty when compared with European finds; and the Normanton ear-ring, not previously correctly identified, should be Minoan of 1600-1300 BC. The European pattern of these and other contemporary Aegean objects is quite consistent; it shows two phases, from 1750-1400 BC and from 1450-1200, but all the exotic objects could have arrived in Britain during the overlap phase, 1450-1400. Breton rock-carvings of weapons lend credibility to the Stonehenge dagger carvings (cf other evidence of Breton-Wessex connections). Not too much can be made of tree-ring-correlated 14C dates yet, and the faience bead sample is too small for reliable analysis. | ||||
