This article aims to present the Mycenaean administrative system from documents in Linear B, especially tablets. The specific study of a type of document is added to this discussion: vessels with stirrup handle. Such containers were conceived to store and transport liquids and vary greatly in size and finish, ranging from small, refined examples to larger and rustic vases produced specifically for transportation. In this last category is a group of vases that received inscriptions, mostly produced in western Crete, but found in great number in the continent, thus being important pieces to elucidate the relations established between the Mycenaean administrative centers in the Balkan Peninsula and productive areas in Crete.
