The Surbo bronzes—some observations
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 May 2014
Extract
The group of bronzes from Surbo, Apulia, published in volume 36 of the Proceedings (Macnamara, 1970) form a most important addition to our knowledge of prehistoric relations between the Aegean and the Italian peninsula. They also form a suitable basis for further discussion of four related problems, the date of the Surbo group itself, the chronology of the Mycenaean short swords of Sandars type F (Catling's type Fii), the feasibility of Mycenaean contacts with western Europe, and the reliability of hoards for the dating of bronze tools and weapons. I should like to comment briefly on each of these problems in turn.
