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.
