Prehistory vs. history Palaeolithic Mesolithic Neolithic Bronze Age Dark/Iron Age Archaic Classical Hellenistic Roman Byzantine

The Peoples Greeks, Mycenaeans, Danaans, Argives, Achaeans Trojans, Dardans Trojan Allies: Zeleians, Paeonians, Ciconians, Thracians, Phrygians, Mysians, Maeonians, Carians, Lycians, Pelasgians, Paphlagonians

Hittite Empire Cuneiform script & Luwian Hieroglyphics adapted for Hittite language Wilusa, Ilios, Ilium Taruisa,Tarwiza, Troy Ahhiya(wa), Achaea

Hittite Evidence… Troy, Ilium, & Achaea real places! Homeric World gains credibility So what do we know about Greek Prehistory from Archaeological Evidence?

Beginning of Bronze Age in Greece Agricultural population Metal-working from Anatolia? Fast-spinning potter’s wheel

Early Helladic Sites: Lerna & Tsoungiza

Tsoungiza: House A Wall 1.1m thick Why so thick? Room 0.9m wide Why so wide?

House A Reconstruction 1 Room 0.9m wide

Corridor Houses of EHII

House of Tiles Distribution Same dimensions, different sizes Shared Culture? Organized Relationships?

EHII Architecture Common Design Megaron style

EH Agriculture EHII figurine Domestic animals

Complex Culture: fine pottery & quality metalwork

EHII Sealings from Lerna’s House of Tiles Personal Property Social Hierarchy Trade

Massive fortification walls at EHII Lerna, Jutting Towers Approaches force exposure of weapon side - conscious of serious threat?

Lerna Fortifications

Invasion? EHII destructions widespread, coupled with major cultural changes Switch from orthogonal corridor houses to mostly apsidal houses in EHIII Disappearance of popular EHII pottery shapes Collapse of complex society Depopulation of surrounding areas

EHIII Apsidal House

EHII Sauceboats disappear

New Pottery Types: Pattern-painted, heavy dark-burnished

???????? Who are these people? Where do they come from?
