Beskrivelse
This book examines the economic control and the administration in Greece at the time of the Mycenaean palaces (texts dating to between ca. 1450 and 1200 BC). It relies primarily on the inscribed tablets discovered in the palaces and proposes a synthesis of the main aspects of the subject: the scribes (responsible for the book keeping) and the organisation of the archives, the administrative geography, the taxation system, the administration of personnel, the control of land, the relationship between palatial administration and sanctuaries, the degree of palatial involvement in trade, as well as the use of palace functionaries or local dignitaries in procedures of economic control. Whenever possible, the data from the tablets have been compared either with the archaeological evidence or with certain Near Eastern archives (primarily the texts from the Ur III period, as well as the texts from Mari, Nuzi and Ugarit). The second part deals with the administrative problems of sheep rearing and the question of the collectors.
