A question especially for non-Bronze Age archaeologists/historians: what does a road network like this suggest to you about political geography?pic.twitter.com/lrrOFhC6MU
Well, two things. 1) there are a lot of pathways we're not seeing here, presumably because they are not archaeologically visible, but also 2) Mycenae looks to be economically central to the region and probably also politically central.

We already know that road net is bunk, because theres a bridge on road to epidauros. This is a palimpsest. However, if one shows the bounds of what is being studied, (not shown here) the road net can tell you a lot about boundaries. I did a whole paper on this.
