TA-U-RO-QO-RO

TA-U-RO-QO-RO takes up problems of script and language representation and textual interpretation, ranging from the use of punctuation marks and numbers in the Linear B to personal names and place names reflecting the ethnic composition of Mycenaean society and the dialects spoken during the proto-Homeric period of the late Bronze Age.

Description

José Luis Melena Jiménez is a peerless scholar known for his expertise in editing texts written in the Mycenaean writing system of the late second millennium BCE and for explicating their linguistic and "historical" contents.

This volume, TA-U-RO-QO-RO, addresses problems related to script and language representation as well as textual interpretation. Topics range from the use of punctuation markers and numbers in the Linear B tablets and the values of specific signs to personal names and place names that reflect the ethnic composition of Mycenaean society and the dialects spoken during the proto-Homeric period of the late Bronze Age.

New insights are provided into aspects of Mycenaean life such as furniture, war chariots, pictorial vases, land cultivation, arboriculture, and shrine areas. Additionally, other papers within the volume discuss wealth finance, prestige goods, the ideology of obligatory payment, long-puzzling tax impositions, and the inevitable collapse of the palatial economic and political systems.
