KE-RA-ME-JA (Hardcover)

The title of this volume, ke-ra-me-ja in Linear B, was chosen because it means "potter" ( , from Greek , "potter's clay") and combines two major strands of Cynthia Shelmerdine's scholarship: Mycenaean ceramics and Linear B texts. It thereby signals her pioneering use of archaeological and textual data in a sophisticated and integrated way. The intellectual content of the essays demonstrate not only that her research has had wide-ranging influence, but also that it is a model of scholarship to be emulated.
