- This monograph (280pp. double-columned) is the product of the first and largest systematic study of Late Bronze-Age burial traditions from tombs and funerary contexts excavated in Laconia (a stronghold of Mycenaean civilization). This research encompassed all the pottery from the tombs at Epidavros Limera, one of the very rare, complete ceramic corpora spanning the entire Mycenaean period. The book uses this to argue that the chamber tomb type was first introduced in Laconia as a result of cultural continuity and (re)invention of architectural traditions, and that Late Mycenaean traditions laid the foundations for the rise of Archaic-to-Classical Spartan culture.
