In recent years there has been a growing interest in Mycenaean glass among archaeologists and scientists.
Scholars have traditionally thought that all Mycenaean glass was imported either in finished form
or as ingots and simply shaped or worked at the Mycenaean sites. Chemical studies of other Mycenaean
glass (Walton et al., 2009; Smirniou et al. in press) support the hypothesis that glass was imported into
Mycenaean Greece, but there is also indication for glass production in mainland Greece at the palace of
Thebes (Nikita and Henderson, 2006). There is no evidence for glass making or working at the Palace of
Pylos, yet there is an abundance of glass beads there. The aim of this paper is to identify the technology
and source for the glass of these beads and thus to ascertain how Pylos was connected to the broader
Mycenaean and Mediterranean economies. The composition of the glasses was determined by means of
portable XRF analysis and compared to that of other Late Bronze Age glasses from Egypt, Mesopotamia
and mainland Greece. Four blue beads coloured with cobalt and one blue bead coloured with copper
have Ti and Zr compositions consistent with an Egyptian origin of manufacture while five other beads
show Ti and Zr concentrations consistent with a Mesopotamian origin (Shortland et al., 2007). Based on
the dearth of Egyptian and Mesopotamian imports in Pylos, the presented data support the hypothesis
that Pylos was receiving via internal Greek trade routes foreign-produced glass, which may have been
worked abroad or in Greece.

In recent years there has been a growing interest in Mycenaean glass among archaeologists and scientists.
Scholars have traditionally thought that all was imported Mycenaean Glass Finished in either form

Glass (Walton et al., 2,009th; Smirniou et al. In Press) Support the hypothesis that Glass was imported Into

and for the source of these Glass Beads and thus to Ascertain How Pylos was Connected to the broader
Mediterranean economies and Mycenaean. The composition was determined by means of the Glasses of
Portable XRF Analysis and compared to that of Late Bronze Age Other Glasses from Egypt, Mesopotamia
and mainland Greece. Four Coloured Beads with Cobalt blue and one blue Coloured Bead with Copper
have Ti and Zr compositions consistent with an origin of manufacture while Egyptian Five Other Beads
Show Ti and Zr concentrations consistent with a Mesopotamian origin (Shortland et al., 2007th). Based on
the dearth of Egyptian and Mesopotamian Imports in Pylos, the Data Presented Support the hypothesis
that Pylos was receiving via internal Greek Trade routes Second Glass-produced, which have been May
or worked Abroad in Greece.
