	Helladic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The Helladic is a modern term to identify a sequence of periods characterizing the culture of mainland ancient Greece during the Bronze Age.
		The Early Helladic is marked by the arrival in Greece of an agricultural population that did not speak an Indo-European language, whose culture soon diverged from its origins in the Cyclades.
		Important Early Helladic sites are clustered on the Aegean shores of the mainland in Boeotia and Argolid (Lerna, Pefkakia, Thebes, Tiryns) or coastal islands such as Aegina (Kolonna) and Euboea (Lefkandi, Manika) and are marked by pottery showing Western Anatolian influences and the introduction of the fast-spinning version of the potter's wheel.

		This gray ware is the EH III ancestor of the characteristic Middle Helladic ware known as "Gray Minyan".
		Such incised pottery occurs in small quantities among the earliest EH III pottery from Lerna IV, is quite common in early EH III deposits at Olympia (Elis), and also occurs in small quantities on jugs, pyxides, and teapots of the "Lefkandi I" culture in both central Greece and the Cyclades.

	The Myceneans
		The Early Helladic Period, ~2750-2000 BC Somewhere between 3000 BC and 2000 BC, the lands of Greece were settled by a metal-using agricultural people who spoke a language other than Indo-European.
		In spite of the ruggedness of their life and the harshness of their social organization, these early Greeks traded with a civilization to the south, the Minoans.
		The Late Helladic Period, ~1550 BC-1150 BC The transition between the Middle and Late Helladic periods is indistinguishable, for the Greek settlers had begun building the rudiments of a civilization earlier in the millenium.

		The great quantity of Early Helladic II pottery from the Dokos cargo site is important not only for the variety of its types and sizes, but especially because it constitutes the only possibly closed find of this nature with EH II pottery hitherto known from the Aegean.
		The Late Helladic sherds, the teeth and bone fragments were chiefly found together with the EH sherds in the lower levels of the second trial trench.
		On the basis of the results obtained so far it seems that the great mass of Early Helladic II pottery recovered from the underwater site at Myti Kommeni on Dokos was part of the cargo of one or more EH ships that foundered, capsized or jettisoned their load in this bay.

	The Eutresis and Korakou Cultures
		Until the excavations of Caskey at Lerna between 1952 and 1958, the distinction between the cultures of the Early Helladic (EH) II and III chronological periods was not very clear.
		Likewise, it was not until Caskey's supplementary excavations at Eutresis in 1958 that EH I culture became easily distinguishable from those of the preceding FN and the succeeding EH II periods.
		This culture is defined stratigraphically at Eutresis and Tsoungiza above Early Helladic I levels of the Eutresis culture and at Eutresis, Lerna, Tiryns, and Tsoungiza below Early Helladic III levels of the Tiryns culture.

		The site had a long history: deep deposits of the early Mycenaean period, of the Middle Bronze Age, and of the latest phases of the Early Bronze Age were explored in soundings and in limited excavations elsewhere on the ridge.
		Both in the Middle Bronze Age and in the early phases of the Late Bronze Age it was protected by strong fortification walls.

		Egyptian influences are apparent in early Minoan figure paintings, ivory scarabs, pottery forms and architectural methods, while Anatolian styles may well have been the basis for early Cycladian sculpture.
		Early painting consists of simple decorative abstract patterns in spirals and meanders, while later work sees a greater use of natural forms such as flowers and animals.
		Early forms are simple, with wave, spiral and fish designs applied in monochromatic patterns and shapes dominating the decorative styles.

		Divided into Early Helladic (c.2800-2000 BC), Middle Helladic (c.2000-1500 BC), and Late Helladic (c.1500-1100 BC) periods, the chronology roughly parallels that of the contemporary Minoan civilization.
		The Mycenaeans entered Greece from the north or northeast c.2000 BC, displacing, seemingly without violence, the older Neolithic culture, which can be dated as early as 4000 BC These Indo-European Greek-speaking invaders brought with them advanced techniques in pottery, metallurgy, and architecture.
		Mercantile contact with Crete advanced and strongly influenced their culture, and by 1600 BC, Mycenae had become a major center of the ancient world.

		At the lowest levels, and mixed in with the late archaic sherds, are also sherds of Late Geometric cups (at least 24 represented in the catalogue), and a few fragments identifiable as Protogeometric and Sub-protogeometric (at least three catalogued).
		Five Early Helladic sherds from surface collections are catalogued, as are three Byzantine/modern sherds.
		When the site was abandoned in the early fifth century it was left in ruins and untouched, apparently, except for limited salvage operations (it is likely that many of the roof tiles were recovered), and was probably only occasionally visited by small numbers of people across the following two and a half millennia.

		As most Early Cycladic cemeteries consist of 15—20 graves, so we are talking about several hundred looted cemeteries destroyed for ever by this scale of looting: 85% of that funerary record in the Cyclades may have been destroyed through looting in order to provide beautiful objects for collectors and museums.

		While certainly wheat, grapes, and olives are all grown in the LS area, the sporadic amount of annual rainfall and the predominance of poor water-retaining soils must have made olives generally more suitable than wheat.
		A preliminary analysis of erosion suggests that significant anthropogenic erosional episodes were limited to two periods of agricultural expansion (the Early Helladic and early Classical).
		There is no gradual transition between Final Neolithic and Early Helladic -- EH I appears to be a generally dark time for Laconia -- and small farmsteads (<.10 ha) and medium-sized farmstead clusters (.20-.70s ha) reappear in the LS area only in EH II, probably indicating an orientation toward mixed agriculture.
