chronology
In the earlier Keftiu tomb-paintings, datable to the reigns of Hatshepshut and Tuthmosis III, the Keftiu are dressed in a style that can be readily paralleled in Second Palace Period representations, whereas in slightly later paintings, apparently dating to the reign of Tuthmosis's successor Amenophis II, a kilt comparable to that shown on some figures in the Knossos Procession Fresco, thought to be LM II in date, is shown.
Natural Environment
Since currents run naturally westwards along the south Anatolian coast, it is easier for boats to come from the east than to go there, but other currents can carry them directly south-east from Crete to Egypt and also up the west coast of the mainland to Italy.
p 26 stuff on vegetation
First human populations
majority of Neolithic sites were in open positions, often on ridges or knolls, situated by a lake, a river, or the sea
Settlement and Economy
The major BA development in farming was the adoption of orchard husbandry, which was evidently of interest to the palaces
Rare horse and rider figurines suggest that the horse was being ridden by late Mycenaean times
Arts and Crafts
Royal Draughtboard
Lion Hunt Dagger, Shaft Grave IV
Nestor's Cup
Battle Krater
Trade, Exchange, and Foreign Contact
Near East probably initiated contact with the Aegean
Aegeans needed/wanted metals and luxury goods like ivory
probably traded perishable goods in return
not much evidence of Aegean products in the Near East in the early period
Dickinson thinks the Ahhiyawa equation unlikely
Religion
Dickinson thinks some peak sanctuaries in use earlier than palaces
doesn't go for the close connection between palaces & peak sanctuaries
says some sanctuaries don't have obvious connections with a particular palace, some quite remote
