The Regional Pottery-styles
The nomenclature of the pottery-styles of the early Iron Age, and the application of the names, have reached a stage of fairly general agreement, in spite of the acknowledged inadequacy or unsuitability of some of the terms themselves. There are regional Protogeometric styles which satisfy the definition and yet lie partly or wholly outside the timespan of other Protogeometric styles. The beginnings of the Iron Age in Greece certainly lie in the …
Iron and Other Metals
Meteoric iron was perhaps the earliest raw material used, but it was often exceedingly difficult to work; the discovery of a primitive method of direct smelting from ores produced blooms which could be worked into wrought iron, but for a long time the remained inferior in quality and strength. Iron daggers of twelfth to eleventh-century date do occur at several sites in Syria and Palestine, as well as deeper into the interior, but these are all o…
External Relations
Since the principle of common ancestry was so strongly held, the population-movements were thought of as essentially internal affairs: Greeks of one tribe or element had moved to displace Greeks of another, and thus set in motion a whole series of similar migrations. One of the most significant developments in the opening up of overseas communications comes when Greeks again settle permanently on foreign soil, and this is very probably to be date…
The Internal Situation
The development of iron technology, in the more advanced regions of Greece, has already provided a direct instance to the contrary. The very mention of Homeric burial-customs is almost enough to bring a smile to specialist faces. Scarcely a year goes past without the discovery of some grave or cemetery whose practices are remarked on for their resemblance to those of Homer. Many persuasive arguments have nevertheless been deployed to show that th…
The Concept of a Dark Age
The period between the fall of the Mycenaean civilization and the rise of Archaic Greece, once its general nature and broad chronological limits had been agreed upon, was coming naturally to attract the name of a dark age; but this rough delineation had only really become possible with the advent of modem archaeological methods. The poets were, of course, much nearer to the critical events than the first extant Greek prose-writers, but it is the …
The Grave
In few periods of antiquity does archaeology lean so heavily on the evidence of graves as in the early Iron Age of Greece. The merits of the grave as a source of evidence are several: its universality, in that it is a category which cuts across all racial or social divisions, is one quality whose worth is apparent enough; its survival-value, as a result of the process of concealment which it represents, is high. The graves are on the whole extrem…
The Chronology of the Early Iron Age in Greece
Chronological schemes for at least part of the period have been proposed by several scholars, and there is little doubt that they have carried the process as far as is warranted by the present state of the evidence. Many later Oriental objects in Greece provide even less chronological information; and in several cases objects which were once classed as Oriental imports are cogently argued to be Greek or Cretan adaptations of Oriental forms, which…
The Dark Age of Greece: An Archaeological Survey of the Eleventh to the Eighth Centuries BC
GBS_insertPreviewButtonPopup('ISBN:9780748614035); To be the first full and convincing historian of obscure centuries and the interpreter of a difficult and unpromising material culture is more than falls to most scholars in the course of a lifetime."

Tobacco smoke exposure and respiratory morbidity in young children
Secondhand smoke exposure during the prenatal and postnatal periods is associated with increased respiratory morbidity in children. Opportunistic screening and targeted smoking cessation counselling for parents at child hospital admissions and well-child outpatient visits, as well as preconception smoking cessation counselling for future pregnancies, may be beneficial to protect the child from negative health impacts
Ancient Greece: Arms and armor
Archaische Siedlungen in Griechenland: Struktur und Entwicklung . By Franziska Lang
The Cambridge/Bradford Boeotian Expedition: The First Four Years
This is a preliminary report (the first substantial publication to appear) on the first four seasons ' work of an archaeological survey project in Boeotia, central Greece, reinforced by the results of a further study season. After a brief general consideration of survey strategies, the article concentrates on the specific conditions of the sample area chosen in western Boeotia. A full account is given of the field procedures adopted in the openin…
The New Archaeology and the Classical Archaeologist
Heavy freight in Archaic Greece
Poet and painter in eighth-century Greece
The relationship between poetry and the visual arts is seldom close and never simple. But special difficulties attend the study of it in the eighth century before Christ in Greece, when evidence is not only in excessively short supply but, when it does come, is almost by definition ambiguous. On the whole question of the interpretation of Late Geometric vase-painting and other eighth-century art, there are well-established opposing positions: eac…

Arms and Armour of the Greeks
Barbarian Europe and Early Iron Age Greece
This paper is concerned with the nature of the relationship that existed between Central Europe and the Aegean area in the early 1st millennium B.C. Interest in Aegean-continental connections has been strong for a considerable time, but has been intensified, particularly from the continental standpoint, in the past fifteen years. Although some of these studies have been concerned with the contacts between 2nd millennium (Late Bronze Age) Greece a…
