CHAPTER XXVI(a) - GREECE, CRETE, AND THE AEGEAN ISLANDS IN THE EARLY BRONZE AGE

Summary
The Bronze Age in lands bordering the Aegean Sea was a period of roughly two millennia that followed the age of Neolithic cultures. Geographical divisions had a significant influence on events and on the development of civilization in Greece. Certain similarities of culture in the Early Bronze Age seem indeed to have existed before the age of the palaces in Crete and the succeeding era of Mycenaean power. This chapter presents a survey of these areas with attention to some of the principal archaeological evidence, and with outlines of stratigraphical observations at a few characteristic sites. In particular, the chapter focuses on sites which include those in the North Eastern Greece, Central Greece, Western coast, and Central Peloponnese regions. The people of the Aegean area were not a single race or an altogether homogeneous cultural group. Part of the human stock must have survived from Neolithic times, and new elements made their way into various districts at different junctures.
