Metal and Other Finds
Although there had been sporadic use of iron, it became much more common at the beginning of the Protogeometric period with the frequent and widespread use of iron technology. Both meteoritic and smelted iron were known during the Bronze Age in the eastern Mediterranean but they were used mostly for making precious objects, such as jewellery and ceremonial weapons. Archaeological and textual evidence shows that in the second millennium iron was a…

Settlements and Structures
Despite the important discoveries of the last twenty years, settlement and architectural evidence from the PG period ·remains sparse. Although two recent studies by Fagerstrom and Mazarakis-Ainian show that our knowledge has increased enormously since the study by Drerup, we still have no PG settlement equivalent to the Late Geometric examples at Zagora on Andros or at Emporio on Chios, both of which had only a short history of occupation. This i…
The Pottery
In this chapter a more detailed account is given of the PG pottery, which is the main, and quite often the only, evidence provided by several sites. Moreover, as has been made clear in the previous chapter, pottery has been the chief means of establishing the relative chronology. The pottery is examined by vase types, following its development in all the PG sites, from its first appearance to the end of the period. This method differs from that u…
Conclusions
The analysis of the PG material culture has shown that our knowledge of the period in the Aegean has increased enormously since Snodgrass’s and Desborough’s surveys. These new discoveries clearly illustrate that the period was more complex than was thought before. In this chapter aspects of life and death of the people of the Aegean who lived during this period are explored and reconstructed using the archaeological material which has been collec…
Burial Practices
Prehistoric archaeologists often employ mortuary remains to interpret the social structure of ancient societies, based on the belief that the treatment of the dead corresponds to the status or the ‘social persona’ that the deceased had in life. Over the years this debate has involved both anthropologists and archaeologists, some of whom have been cautious about the limits of such studies which attempt to establish a close correlation between mort…
Relative and Absolute Chronology
The term ‘Protogeometric’ (PG) was first introduced by Schweitzerin 1917 to define a style of pottery which was different from both the previous Sub-Mycenaean (SM) and the succeeding Geometric. This stylistic sequence was confirmed by Kraiker and Kübler’s important publication in 1939 of the finds from the Kerameikos cemetery in Athens which marked the beginning of the study of the PG period and allowed them to identify the stylistic development …
The Protogeometric Aegean
This is the first full and up-to-date survey of Aegean archaeology at the beginning of the Iron Age (late eleventh and tenth centuries BC) since Snodgrass’s classic The Dark Age of Greece (1971). These crucial 150 years in the development of ancient Greek society are known as the Protogeometric period after the characteristic pottery which was commonly in use in the Aegean. The book offers a detailed account of old and new discoveries with chapte…

A Euboean Warrior Trader
A recently discovered burial in the Toumba Cemetery at Lefkandi, Euboea, differs from others previously found there in the shape of the tomb and the method of burial, which is a cremation contained in a bronze cauldron. The offerings, which include a sword, spearhead and iron arrowheads, make it certain that it is the burial of a warrior, but others, such as a series of stone weights, a N. Syrian cylinder seal and vases from Cyprus and Phoenicia …
Early Greek Vases in Cyprus
The aim of the present project is to put to the test by using chemical analysis the origin of early Greek vases imported to Cyprus. In the present case samples were taken from vases found in the cemetery at Amathus published by Prof. J. N. Coldstream. The scientific results coincide with his attributions and confirm the suggestion that there was a revival of communication between the Aegean and Cyprus from the end of the tenth century, and that E…
Protogeometric Skyros and Euboea
Archaeological evidence indicates that during the Protogeometric period Skyros and Euboea shared several features. The striking similarity, both in style and fabric, between some of the vases found on Skyros and those from Lefkandi in Euboea, made us suspect that some of the Skyrian vases might actually have been imported from Lefkandi. Thanks to Mrs. R. Andreadis, whose private Collection includes Protogeometric vases found on Skyros and who all…
