About this person
Josef Arne Gerdt Furumark was a Swedish archaeologist who specialised in the ceramics of Mycenaean Greece. His three-volume work The Mycenaean Pottery established a categorisation and chronology of the ceramics of the Late Bronze Age on the Greek mainland. A 1943 review credited him with doing "for Mycenaean pottery what Payne did for Corinthian and Beazley for Attic wares", and subsequent scholars have considered the work a standard reference, though it received criticism for an over-rigid approach and for prioritising stylistic analysis at the expense of information about objects' archaeological contexts.
