If you do not suffer from the same condition Aggie does,
you could surely come up with evidence that is
contradicting me.....

I am aware of one or two pottery-examples that are
showing ships.......... point is ...their dating is
disputed.

Other thing is....my argument involves the NUMBER of
Iconographical depictions of ships....during the time
till LHIIIC.......you need to come up with more than a
few....compaired to the abundant chariot-depictions for example........

The depictions of chariot hunts are by some considered to be
an eastern influence.

If you can prove the opposite you are more than
welcome....and I will adobt your view.....in this matter

For instance
"..Laffineur mentions two LH I sherds from Iolkos showing
fragmentary ships with a zigzag ornament painted on the hull
(Gray 1964, 43, Fig. 8c) as well as much later examples."

LH-I, that is the Early Mycenaean period.

Another example: a clay ship model was found in a tomb at
Mycenae. Some website gives a date of 1300BC. I know that
more of such ship models were found on Cyprus (and also
Crete, I think).

As for murals, only very little remains from the murals in
the Mycenaean centers in mainland Greece, so to say that
there are no depictions of ships among these doesn't add
much wheight.

Another question is where one wants to draws the line
between "Mycenaean" and other Aegean material cultures.
