I always love your archaeology posts.Thank you.
My pleasure, and thanks right back. I should also have noted that the Mycenaeans *were* Greeks, so if this anchor were Mycenaean, the snarkiness in the original article was wholly unwarranted. The Carians, Ionians (one of the Greek ethnic groups), and the Phoenicians all hung out, traded with one another, and were all over the seven seas during classical times, and during the preceding heroic age there was the semi-legendary Trojan War. The Iliad includes the catalog of ships (counts of the vessels provided by each of the participating Greek cities). Archaeology has turned up Mycenaean sites in the western Med.
