A POT-BOILER AT PYLOS?
John T. Killen
The paper seeks to show that the Pylos tablet Vn 130 does not relate to the work of unguent-boilers, i.e. makers of perfumed olive oil, in the various places listed on the record, as T. Palaima has argued in 2014, but instead deals with the collection/receipt by the palace of vessels produced by bronzesmiths in the places in question, as L.R. Palmer and the author have proposed in earlier discussions of the tablet.
John T. Killen is Emeritus Professor of Mycenaean Greek, Cambridge University.
