The Linear B tablets found at palatial sites across Greece and the Aegean islands, and archaeological discoveries of objetcs such as weights, attest to an early form of accounting and/or archiving. This book includes ten essays, plus an introduction by the editor, outlining sources of evidence for the counting measuring and recording of carft/industrial products in the prehistoric Aegean. Contributors look at evidence from the Neolithic period and at the Cretan hieroglyphic script before focusing on evidence from the Mycenaean period, including the recording of metal objects, craftsmen working in the palaces, textile recording and counting, condiments, perfume and dye plants, leather and other animal products. The papers draw heavily on the Linear B archives and less on artefacts.
