It gives us great pleasure to congratulate Professor Dimitri Nakassis on being named a MacArthur Fellow in the class of 2015. The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation cited his "rare intellectual breadth, comprising philology, archaeology, and contemporary social and economic theory" in his transformative analysis of the degree of centralization of power and resources in Mycenaean Pylos. The editors of Nestor join the MacArthur Foundation in saluting Prof. Nakassis.
