The Aegean from Bronze Age to Iron Age

An up-to-date synthesis of the period between the collapse of the Bronze Age up to the rise of the Greek civilization, the author examines the reasons why the Dark Ages came about and the processes that enabled archaic Greece to emerge from them

Following Oliver Dickinsons successful The Aegean Bronze Age, this textbook is a synthesis of the period between the collapse of the Bronze Age civilization in the thirteenth and twelfth centuries BC, and the rise of the Greek civilization in the eighth century BC.

With chapter bibliographies, distribution maps and illustrations, Dickinsons detailed examination of material and archaeological evidence argues that many characteristics of Ancient Greece developed in the Dark Ages. He also includes up-to-date coverage of the ''Homeric question''.

This highly informative text focuses on:

the reasons for the Bronze Age collapse which brought about the Dark Ages
the processes that enabled Greece to emerge from the Dark Ages
the degree of continuity from the Dark Ages to later times.

Dickinson has provided an invaluable survey of this period that will not only be useful to specialists and undergraduates in the field, but that will also prove highly popular with the interested general reader.
