What evidence is there for trade with Mycenaea? --Yak 19:17, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Hi Yak. Weren't some of their swords found in Mycenaean shaft graves, possibly by Schliemann? The presence of the amber trade route and the Mycenaeans' thirst for quality metal made me think it was correct. My memory is hazy however and the only source I can find (outside of a dodgy Aryran website) is my increasingly outdated Dictionary of Archaeology. adamsan 20:32, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Shaft Graves: Circle A at Mycenae is normally dated 1600-1500 B.C., Circle B 1650-1550 B.C., some have it as 1600-1500 B.C – that is later than Unetice.

The Graves do include Baltic amber, but they are contemporary with the early tumulus period (Wietenberg, Otomani, Vatin, Vatya, Mad'arovce etc.) Cultural Influences – and the gold - point to Roumania, not the West. Swords: Minoan or Levantine. Took me a while to clarify, there's an odd mixture of arguments based on pre-14C and uncalibrated 14C-dates. --Yak 22:10, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)
