Scope and Contents

Helen Waterhouse writes that she has been asked to review the new Mycenae for JHS: she encloses a copy for AJBW to read. She briefly discusses recent publications on Homer, then shares general news and updates. AJBW replies with comments on the review. He corrects Waterhouse's ideas about chronology at Mycenae, explaining the difference between his own ideas and Furumark's. AJBW argues for more gradual changes between pottery styles, refuting Furumark's work. He ends general news and his plans for excavations at Mycenae.
