Blegen was very lucky to find the palace in 1939, months before World War II broke out. The name Pylos was associated with that area but they did not know the exact location of the palace. Supposedly Blegen asked himself, “If I was a Mycenaean prince, where would I build my palace?” He chose a likely spot and hit pay dirt right away, quickly discovering the palace archive with the Linear B tablets.

Yes, the Griffin warrior apparently was of local ancestry, but nearby towns from the same period did have elite folks who had steppe ancestry.

IMHO, the importation of Greek and Mycenaen culture may have been what seems to be the case of the spread of Celtic culture through Europe. Incomers with the steppe ancestry and culture were so influential that they conquered the region peacefully.
