KE-RA-ME-JA

The title of this volume, ke-ra-me-ja in Linear B, was chosen because it means potter (?e?? e?a, from Greek ???a ??, 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.
