The first collection, titled 'Redistribution in first two collections, we argued that studies of 'redistribution' in Aegean palatial societies, whether archaeological, textual, or both, fail to capture the totality of economic activity that must have occurred in Late Bronze Age states and largely ignore the social implications of such activity. Rather, in order to explain the regional distribution of artifacts, some form of 'market'-based exchange must have occurred. In this introduction we suggest that systems of 'reciprocity' preceded and underpinned modes of redistribution and market exchange, and also served to integrate Bronze Age social structures.

This pattern, which shows a preference for imports with features that referred to metal vessels, is echoed at sites around the western Mediterranean. We argue that the preference for certain types was communicated back to Greek producers, and that it also reflects the particular local interests of non-Greeks, who associated metallic features not only with wealth, but also with their own ancestral traditions.

Certainly the method here is strongly associative. L. resorts variously to Homer, to modern anthropology, to later ritual practice, to comparisons or contrasts with the Bronze Age. She makes very little of the wider eighth-century setting, with minimal discussion of settlement pattern or settlement abroad, of the buildings, siting or variety of votives at sanctuaries. Local variation is variously asserted and ignored. Yet part of what compels belief is the very combination of insistence that there are structural issues about bringing up children and forming households that need negotiation in every human society, with awareness that exactly how scenes and symbols are used in this process will vary. Even those not immediately persuaded by the answers will have to face up to L.'s questions. The centaur as educator and abductor should henceforth have a μrm place in the study of eighth-century Greece.
