Jack. L. Davis is the Carl W. Blegen Professor in Greek Archaeology from University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, OH.
"The Palace of Nestor at Pylos: Current Research" (a Mycenaean city)
The Palace of Nestor remains the best preserved Mycenaean palace in Greece. The archive of clay tablets discovered in its remains in 1939 is still the largest collection of written documents from the Bronze Age preserved on the mainland of Greece. Although the results of excavations of the palace were comprehensively published by Carl W. Blegen and his University of Cincinnati team, recent work under my overall direction has resulted in exciting new discoveries about the palace community, its politics and religion, and its relationship with its more rural hinterland. This presentation describes the present state of ongoing research.
