M. Nilsson’s defi nition of the Mycenaean cult of the dead as the service of the dead moulded into regular and fi xed intervals, performed by the members of the family and prolonged for generations, has shaped the core of modern research on the matter since the 1950s. Until recently, the generally accepted notion, with the exception of some scholars, has been that no cult of the dead was practiced in Mycenaean Greece, and any attempt to prove the opposite has been rejected or avoided by earlier scholars. The study of the topic has also been obscured by the lack of a proper defi nition of the term ‘cult of the dead’ and a coherent methodological approach to the issue of post-funerary activity in Late Bronze Age tombs and the Mycenaean respon...

Death in Late Bronze Age Greece

The chamber tombs and their contents seem to have been canonical Mycenaean according to the Greek mainland examples, but recent research has highlighted significant regional idiosyncrasies. There is a symbolic interrelation between the tombs’ orientation and the surrounding landscape, which was a regional phenomenon. Furthermore, within the cemeteries the secondary burials appear to be very common and often the dominant practice. In this context the offerings in the tombs are of particular interest since they diverge from others in mainland Greece. The preference for drinking and eating vessels reveals a symbolic role attributed to feasting in relation to the afterlife beliefs. This can be combined with the role of the landscape and the secondary burial tradition within the Rhodian funerary framework. Feasting seems to be symbolically linked through ritual a...

Many scholars have seen population movement as the outcome of these events, while in the Aegean they have often been associated with the epic tradition of the Nostoi. The analysis of the burial tradition in the Cyclades and the South−eastern Aegean can
provide a useful insight on the changes and the questions related to migrations and indigenous developments. The position and contacts of this region with the Greek mainland centres, westernAnatolia and the Hittite hinterland adds important information to the post−palatial Aegean discourse. The funerary traditions in the Eastern Aegean and Western Anatolia will be presented in order to reveal the influences and interactions between different regions in this part of the Aegean.
