I had an enjoyable hour today reading about the Early Bronze age in the Aegean.
- 40,000 BC - evidence of early humans in Greece
- 6,000 BC - evidence of permanent settlements, agriculture, domesticated animals
- 3,000 - 2,000 BC - early bronze age in Aegean
- Crete
- complexes of building made of stone and mudbrick
- stucco wall surfaces
- barley, wheat, olives, grapes
- sheep, goats, pigs, cattle
- pots, terracotta & stone figures
- woven textiles
- painted pottery
- buried dead in stone graves
- Cyclades (islands SE of mainland)
- fortified walls (unknown in Crete)
- famous for marble sculptures of small figures (spectacularly beautiful)
- pottery vases and animal figures
- Greece
- complexes of buildings, possibly palaces
- pottery shows much diversity
I then tried typing "early bronze age aegean into the Google search engine. Here are a few interesting sites:
