Mycenaean Contacts
By the close of the Bronze Age (up to Late Helladic IIIC) contacts between the Aegean and its neighbours were well established. Mycenaean connection extended as far as southern Spain while Mycenaean pottery, for example, has been found in Sardinia, Southern Italy and Sicily, Asia Minor (amongst others at the settlement of Milawatta, modern Miletus, high-quality Palace style and Mycenaean ceramics have been recovered), Cyprus, the Levant and Egypt (especially Tell el Amarna). The circulation of goods and produce between centres are attested in Linear B records, though evidence of direct exchange is not.

Famous quotes containing the word contacts:
“Living more lives than one, knowing people of all classes, all shades of opinion, monarchists, republicans, socialists, anarchists, has had a salutary effect on my mind. If every year of my life, every month of the year, I had lived with reformers and crusaders I should be, by this time, a fanatic. As it is I have had such varied things to do, I have had so many different contacts that I am not even very much of a crank.”
—Rheta Childe Dorr (1866–1948)
