Alex Knodell, associate professor of classics and director of archaeology at Carleton, published a chapter in the edited volume Political Geographies of the Bronze Age Aegean. His contribution, “Palatial and Non-Palatial Landscapes in the Mycenaean World: Territorial Models for Boeotia and Euboea,” combines qualitative and quantitative data from Linear B texts, material culture and the physical environment in a GIS framework to propose alternative models for regional organization in Greece in the Late Bronze Age (c. 1400-1200 B.C.E.).
