	abstract = {The naval battle representation on the walls of Ramesses III{\textquoteright}s {\textquoteleft}mansion of a million years{\textquoteright} at Medinet Habu (ca. 1175 BCE) stands as one of the earliest, and certainly most detailed, depictions of ship{\textendash}to{\textendash}ship combat. It also depicts the only known vessels of Helladic galley type to be depicted with stem{\textendash}and{\textendash}stern avian decoration. As such, they have been called upon as evidence for the inclusion of Central Europeans ({\textquoteleft}Urnfielders{\textquoteright}) in the Sea Peoples coalition(s), and {\textendash} more recursively {\textendash} to bolster the view that the highly schematic designs on the stemposts of Helladic galleys were avian in nature. This paper addresses these conclusions and evaluates the evidence that has been presented for an {\textquoteleft}Urnfield{\textquoteright} connection to the Sea Peoples{\textquoteright} ships, along with some notes on the ostensibly avian nature of Helladic galleys{\textquoteright} finial decorations.},
