Abstract
The Mycenean pottery which is often found in tombs and on inhabited sites in Palestine frequently provides useful evidence for dating purposes, and occasionally, too, the presence of Egyptian objects helps to confirm the dating of the Mycenean pottery itself. Recent research, especially on the Mainland of Greece, has made clear the main lines of development of Mycenean pottery through the three periods of L.H. I, II and III and consequently the comparative dates provided by the finding of such pottery on Palestinian sites may be taken as approximately correct. It is, however, essential that the Mycenean pottery or the local Palestinian imitations of it should be assigned to the correct period. Failure to do so may lead to a misdating of the Palestinian local wares or of the other objects associated with them. A case of this seems to have occurred at Jericho.
