30 One of the most surprising results of the Niemeiers' excavations in the Third Building Phase is negative in its implications. Earlier digs on the Stadium Hill uncovered what was said to be a Mycenaean megaron, with associated living quarters and courtyard. It has been suggested that this complex may be the Mycenaean palace, which, if correct, would have important implications for the interpretation of Mycenaean political orga- nization.

N iemeier (1998, 40) offers as evidence two other tablets that mention a woman from Miletos (rni-ra-ti-ja, from Pylos) and a man from Miletos (mi-ra-tijo, from Thebes). The tablet from Pylos denotes this woman in the context of a list of proba ble slaves from sites on the Asiatic coast and offshore islands, indicating that at least the Milesian woman came from Ionian Miletos, not Milatos on Crete.
