      abstract = {"This volume brings together an international group of  researchers to address how Mycenaean and Minoan states  controlled the economy. The contributions, originally  delivered at the 2007 Langford Conference at Florida State  University, examine the political economies of state (and  pre-state) entities within the Aegean Bronze Age, including  the issues of: centralization and multiple scales of  production, distribution, and consumption within a polity;  importance of extraregional trade; craft specialization;  the role of non-elite institutions, and the political  economy before the emergence of the palaces. The  contributors address these issues from an explicitly  comparative perspective, both within and across Minoan and  Mycenaean contexts. The conclusions reached in this volume  shed new light on the essential differences between and  among "Minoan" and "Mycenaean" states through their  political economies"--Publisher's description.},
