Those published in this new volume had a very specific aim: to investigate the continuity or discontinuity between Bronze-and Iron-Age cultic activity on the site and to determine the relation of the worship of Zeus to the hero cult of Pelops. The results are important and overturn some previously held notions. First, the massive ash and votive deposits presumably dedicated to Zeus begin in the eleventh century BCE. While discontinuous with the Mycenean period, the altar is nevertheless located over an Early Helladic tumulus, more than a millennium earlier, and must have been considered a sacred space. The cult of Pelops, which many scholars thought preceded the worship of Zeus at the shrine, seems to have been instituted in the sixth century, when the great altar was moved and the sanctuary was reorganized, presumably by the Eleans. The volume, then, makes a significant contribution to the earliest history of one of the most important Greek religious sanctuaries.
