  The Eutresis and Korakou Cultures
Pottery typical of the Korakou culture is found in late Rachmani levels at Pefkakia (near Volos in Thessaly), in Early Minoan II levels at Knossos in Crete, and in Keros-Syros culture levels at sites such as Skarkos (Ios) and Ayia Irini (Keos) in the Cyclades.
The irregularities of most of the ordinary houses of the Korakou culture may be explained by the fact that the domestic architecture of this culture was agglomerative; that is, additions were made to an original building whenever and however they were needed or wanted rather than in any prescribed fashion or sequence.
The contrast with the typological uniformity characteristic of the apsidal or rectangular megaron (= long-house consisting of one or two rooms with a shallow porch across, and an axially located doorway in the middle of, one short side) which was standard in the EH III and MH periods is striking.

 Scholar develops new system for overlooked wares of ancient Greece
Korakou, a site excavated by the late UC archaeologist Carl Blegen, who pioneered the study of Mycenaean pottery.
His Korakou finds in 1921 included almost all the wares studied by Kramer.
Blegen was the one who set up the original system for classification of Mycenaean pottery, which in turn has been revised by others and now Kramer.

 KORAKOU   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
CONTACT US Korakou used to be a mixed village (of Greek and Turkish Cypriot residents) until 1964.
After 1964 and due to intercommunal conflict, the few Turkish Cypriots of Korakou abandoned their village and resettled in other neighbouring Turkish Cypriot or mixed villages.
The churches of Korakou are rich in icons and silver artifacts.

By contrast, the masses of human bones found tightly packed into the cist graves at Tsepi in nearby eastern Attica were clearly deposited secondarily in their final resting places.
Many sites of the Korakou culture continue to be occupied in the subsequent EH III and Middle Helladic (MH) periods.
The only true "scene" in the pictorial art of the Korakou culture is a fragmentarily preserved depiction of a quadruped (again a bovid or caprid?) suckling its young, an impressed design on a hearth rim from Tiryns.

The harbour of Lechaeon is situated to the west of the modern village of Old Corinth, and to the south of the old national road Corinth-Patrae.
To the east of the harbour lies the well known prehistoric settlement of Korakou (Blegen, 1921).
West of the prehistoric settlement, and south of the road, is situated the necropolis of ancient Lechaeon (7

 Carl Blegen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Blegen earned his bachelor's degree from the University of Minnesota in 1904 and started graduate studies at Yale University in 1907.
At Athens he was a fellow at the American School of Classical Studies (1911-13), during which time he worked on excavations at Locris, Corinth and Korakou.
During World War I Blegen was involved in relief work in Bulgaria and Macedonia, receiving the Saviors Order from Greece in 1919.

Since this pottery was locally made, it constituted evidence for the presence of a non-Mycenaean population element within Mycenaean Greece in the period immediately following the destruction of the major Peloponnesian centers.
Kilian has suggested that the closest parallels for this material come from northwest Greece (Epirus) and has maintained that the earliest examples of such pottery from Tiryns come from contexts immediately predating the major destruction at that site at the end of the LH IIIB period.
It is also apparent from Tiryns that, at least at that site, the handmade and burnished pottery persisted in use throughout the LH IIIC period, while at Korakou and the Menelaion such material seems to be restricted to early LH IIIC levels.

These are found on the Evrykhou-Korakou road and the Linou-Ayios Epiphanios road.
The bridge between Evrykhou and Korakou (BU0045) is now abandoned and replaced by a modern, concrete bridge.
In this the British road engineer Edward Nichols faithfully reproduced the construction methods and style of the earlier structure.

 Tiryns
But the excavators knew no other explanation, because it was clear to them that “the fire of the palace was followed immediately by the erection of the temple.”
A decade later, when the temple of Hera was found to be very similar in plan to a Mycenaean building excavated at Korakou, near Corinth, “grave doubts” were expressed about the correctness of the above interpretations of the excavators of Tiryns, who had been “involved in a number of difficulties, both architectural and chronological.”
The critic (C. Blegen) agreed that the temple had been built immediately after the palace was destroyed, but he could not agree that the temple was a building of the seventh century.

French argues that the idea of a gray-burnished ware was very probably exported to Greece during the latest Early Bronze 2 period when Anatolian influence is to be detected in the Kastri Group and Lefkandi I assemblages.
The first Gray Minyan (or Fine Gray-burnished) ware appears at Lerna in Early Helladic III (Lerna IV) when the pottery of Mainland Greece had become "anatolianized" as a result of the fusion of the "Lefkandi I" and Early Helladic IIA (or Korakou culture) traditions.
It should be noted that the Bass bowl of Lerna IV is totally absent from the Trojan shape repertoire.

The two most common people that are credited with this are the Dorians and the ‘Sea People.’ The Dorians moved in to Greece from the north-west in the late Bronze Age.
Coarse pots, not as artfully crafted as Mycenaean pots, have been found in Korakou, Asine, and Mycenae.
These pots have been found alongside Mycenaean IIIC pots and is evidence that the Dorians arrived in small waves and were integrated in to Mycenaean society.

 The Archaeology of Hissarlik
While a few definite conclusions could be drawn on the basis of Dörpfeld’s work—such as the realization that Troy II belonged to the Early Bronze Age, and could not therefore be the Homeric city—many new problems arose, especially concerning the relation of the Late Bronze Age city to its seventh-century Greek successor.
It was left to Carl Blegen, whose careful work at Korakou, Zygouries, and Prosymna had earned him a well-deserved reputation for accuracy and thoroughness, to undertake a new examination of what remained of Hissarlik in the hope that the troubling chronological questions could once and for all be resolved.
Before turning to the results of the American excavations, let us briefly glance at the stratigraphic situation as it was understood before Blegen.

An area about 1.3ha was surveyed at the Bronze Age site of Korakou on the northern Korinthian coast in April 2003.
The entire survey area was examined using the Geoscan RM-15 resistance meter, while a sample area of 899m2 was examined with the Geoscan FM-36 fluxgate gradiometer (magnetometer).

 Early Bronze Age Mainland Greece   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
To make the situation even more complicated, Jeanette Forsén has recently shown that there is no consistent pattern to the destructions of Early Helladic II sites; indeed some sites such as Korakou near Corinth apparently continue from Early Helladic II to III with no interruption.
We must consider each site on its own, and not assume that the sequence of events which occurred at one site, such as Lerna, will be the same as the sequence of events at another.
Sometimes, though, studying a system which failed to develop a complex culture can provide us with much more valuable information than a successful system.
