This study evaluates and critiques the traditionally held view that
Late Bronze Age society was highly centralised on the Mycenaean
palaces, especially in a political and economic sense. In seeking
to test whether this is really true of the Late Helladic economy in
the Argolid, Birgitta Sjoberg examines evidence for settlement
patterns at Asine and the Argive Plain, economic activities and
socio-economic information that can be gleaned from tombs. Her
conclusion suggests that the picture of Mycenaean palaces as
dominant, centralising, redistribution centres can not be confirmed
for the Argolid and that a more diverse, decentralised,
market-based economic system was more likely.
