	Helladic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.

		In the Early Helladic III period (Lerna IV), the inhabitants (who supposedly destroyed the earlier settlement) covered the site of the House of Tiles with a low tumulus surrounded by a ring of stones, as though to mark off a sacred area.
		The Early Helladic III levels at Lerna produced, in addition to the typical pottery of that period, a few examples of a pottery type known as "Minyan" ware, which was sometimes wheel-made and is a common feature of the Middle Helladic period.
		At the end of the Middle Helladic period, 2 rectangular shaft graves were cut into the tumulus of the House of Tiles, indicating that the meaning of that monument had been forgotten.

	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.
		Their contact with the Minoans was instantly fruitful; they began to urbanize somewhere in the Middle Helladic period and translated their culture into a civilization.
		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.

		He does not question the theory that the Middle Helladic people were ancestors of the Mycenaeans, but he adds his theory that the people of Early Helladic III were "closely akin to the Middle Helladics and thus also of direct or indirect parentage to the Mycenaean Greeks" (Caskey 1960:302).
		Early Helladic III showed more of a variety of wares: gray Minyan, plain, slipped and burnished, and a lumpy coarse ware, to name a few; while Middle Helladic saw the full development of wheel-turned pottery in Grey and Argive Minyan, and matt-painted ware, among others.
		The development of the types of pottery along with the use of the potter's wheel in Middle Helladic are an indication of the growth and progress of the society in general.

	Mycenaean Pictorial Art and Pottery
		The ware which most closely distinguishes the pottery of this phase from that of the late Middle Helladic period is a fine ware painted with patterns in lustrous paint in a dark-on-light style (the so-called "LH I style").
		Both the shapes (the favorites being the Vapheio cup, the semiglobular cup, the alabastron, and the piriform jar) and patterns of this ware are largely derived from LM IA pottery.
		Central Greece, however, is still characterized by pottery more Helladic than Minoanizing, a clear indication that the shift in ceramics caused by Minoan influence travelled gradually rather than suddenly, from south to north and probably from the coast toward the interior.

		Generally, the study of the Neolithic, Early and Middle Helladic material of Sarakenos is expected to proceed to a more theoretical approach to the archaeological data and to answer questions relevant to cave environments.
		The comparison of the Middle Helladic material from the cave with that of other MH settlements of the area is also important because it belongs to a period when a major environmental change occurred in the Kopais lake area, which had begun to drain.
		It is characteristic that after the Middle Helladic period the occupation of the cave definitively ceases.

		The beginning of the Middle Helladic period is marked by the immigration of the Minyans.
		The Middle Helladic period continued the process of migration and movement; it too was an unsettled period.
		Settlers represented an amalgam of surviving Neolithic, non-Greek cultures of the Early Helladic period, the immigrants from the end of the Early Helladic period, the Minyan immigrants of the Middle Helladic era, plus elements from Anatolia and perhaps Crete.

		The present thesis is concerned the Middle Helladic period in Boiotia with the specific goal of detecting elements of social organization.
		The study of this period has been seriously neglected, since it is outshadowed by the preceding and succeeding periods, the Early Helladic and the Late Helladic periods, which have produced impressive archaeological remains, as well as by the relative concentration of research in Thebes.
		Thus, by encompassing the data resulting from fieldwork to the present day and creating a new synthesis, the necessary groundwork was created for a comprehensive interpretation of social patterns during Middle Helladic period in Boiotia.

		An elite with the means of amassing and maintaining an economic and political supremacy was in all likelihood present at Kolonna already at the beginning of the Middle Helladic period.
		If we accept the idea that Aeginetan pre-firing marks functioned as identification tags of persons or groups involved in pottery manufacture, we must also consider the possibility that the marks functioned as a means of regulating obligations between rulers and dependent potters.

		Despite the very complicated situation of the transition from the Early Helladic II period to the Early Helladic III period, there are significant cultural differences between the two periods.
		To search outside of the Aegean for Greeks, or to use the migration of any peoples as the sole explanation for culture change, is to deny the indigenous peoples of a region the ability to change, to develop, or to fail in their attempts to establish more complex patterns of living.
		The brilliant culture of the Early Helladic II period, with its Corridor Houses, sophisticated metallurgy, and widespread contacts, failed to achieve a literate, palace-centered civilization such as developed on Crete at the very beginning of the Middle Bronze Age, and instead collapsed.

		Indeed, complete coatings or even broad expanses of solid paint are extremely rare in {Middle Helladic Matt-painted} pottery, possibly because the paint (or slip) in question was more difficult to acquire or prepare, hence more "expensive", than the semilustrous paint/slip ("Urfirnis") utilized in the preceding EH II-III periods.

		Out of this interaction between the Cretan and Helladic cultures developed a Mycenaean palace culture, which was initially dependent on Cretan models.
