A POT-BOILER AT PYLOS?
John T. Killen
The paper seeks to show that the Pylos tablet Vn 130 does not relate to the work of unguent-boilers, i.e. makers of perfumed olive oil, in the various places listed on the record, as T. Palaima has argued in 2014, but instead deals with the collection/receipt by the palace of vessels produced by bronzesmiths in the places in question, as L.R. Palmer and the author have proposed in earlier discussions of the tablet.
