THE AEGEAN FROM BRONZE AGE
TO IRON AGE
Following Oliver Dickinson’s successful
The Aegean Bronze Age, The Aegean
from Bronze Age to Iron Age
is an up-to-date synthesis of the period between
the collapse of the Bronze Age civilisation in the thirteenth and twelfth
centuries
bc,
and the great advances towards Greek civilisation in the eighth
century
bc.
Breaking away from outmoded theories which give undue credit to Athens
for Greek development, Dickinson offers a fresh examination of the latest
material and archaeological evidence and forms the compelling argument
that many characteristics of Ancient Greece developed in the Dark Ages.
In accessible thematic chapters, this highly informative text considers the
structure and economy of the early Iron Age communities, their crafts, burial
customs, external contact, trade and religion, with a separate chapter on the
Postpalatial period, and comments on the relevance of Homer, revealing:
•
•
•
the reasons for the Bronze Age collapse, bringing 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.
Including chapter bibliographies, distribution maps and new illustrations,
this book will prove to be essential reading for students and specialists alike,
as well as an illuminating read for the interested general reader. This is an
authoritative survey of the period from a leader in the field.
Dr Oliver Dickinson
recently retired as Reader Emeritus from the Depart-
ment of Classics and Ancient History, University of Durham, where he
taught from 1976–2005. He is a specialist in Greek prehistory.
