	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.
		Middle Helladic sites are located throughout the Peloponnese and central Greece (including sites in the interior of Aetolia such as Thermon) as far north as the Spercheios River valley.

		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.

		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 Early Helladic period is defined as the years 2750 BC to 2000 BC.
		The Middle Helladic period (2000 BC - 1550 BC) and the Late Helladic period (1550 BC - 1150 BC) is the period we are most concerned with, the period which rivals Hellenistic Greece in its artistic and cultural achievements.

	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.

		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.

		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).

		The close of the Helladic was brought about by some sort of economic collapse, possibly caused by sea-faring nations depriving the Mycenaeans of their sea supremacy and trade.
