Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Corpus of Mycenaean amber finds and those in adjacent areas, and discussion of their significance (assuming the validity of Beck's attribution of most of them to a Baltic source). The first 'consignment' of nearly 1600 pieces (? from Britain) occurs in a very few rich graves concentrated in the Argolid and Pylos in Late Helladic I-II. Later on, far fewer pieces are far more widely distributed (some possibly redistributed from the first 'consignment' of c 1500 BC, the second 'consignment' not necessarily arriving until c 1200). Much of the amber probably came in as finished products, e.g. beads and the spacer-plates from ?Britain; but there are no V-bored beads, and the lack of amber in Yugoslavia needs explanation especially as the head of the Adriatic was clearly involved in the distribution. C W Beck adds a note on provenances. | ||||||
