The impact of long-distance exchange on the developing cultures of
Bronze Age Greece has been a subject of debate since Schliemann's
discovery of the Shaft Graves at Mycenae. In Mycenaean Greece,
Mediterranean Commerce, and the Formation of Identity, Bryan E.
Burns offers a new understanding of the effects of Mediterranean
trade on Mycenaean Greece by considering the possibilities
represented by the traded objects themselves in their Mycenaean
contexts. A range of imported artifacts were distinguished by their
precious material, uncommon style and foreign writing, signaling
their status as tangible evidence of connections beyond the Aegean.
The consumption of these exotic symbols spread beyond the highest
levels of society and functioned as symbols of external power
sources. Burns argues that the consumption of exotic items thus
enabled the formation of alternate identities and the resistance of
palatial power.
