""Citadel to City-State serves as an excellent summarization of our present knowledge of the not-so-dark Dark Age as well as an admirable prologue to the understanding of the subsequent Archaeic and Classical periods."" -- David Rupp, Phoenix
The Dark Age of Greece is one of the least understood periods of Greek history. A terra incognita between the Mycenaean civilization of Late Bronze Age Greece and the flowering of Classical Greece, the Dark Age was, until the last few decades, largely neglected. Now new archaeological methods and the discovery of new evidence have made it possible to develop a more comprehensive view of the entire period. Citadel to City-State explores each century from 1200 to 700 B.C.E. through an individual site -- Mycenae, Nichoria, Athens, Lefkandi, Corinth, and Ascra -- that illustrates the major features of each period. This is a remarkable account of the historical detective work that is beginning to shed light on Dark Age Greece.

The "Dark Age" of Greece is one of the least understood periods of Greek history. A terra incognita between the Mycenaean civilization of Late Bronze Age Greece and the flowering of Classical Greece, the Dark Age was, until the last few decades, largely neglected. The neglect can be explained partly by the fact that the disruptions that brought down the Mycenaean civilization left a landscape seemingly devoid not only of large population centers but in many places of any population at all. And the Dark Age is dark, in large part, because it has left no written records. Development of new techniques in archaeological method and a new focus on the study of how life was lived outside the great cities has renewed scholarly interest in the Dark Age. This attention has led to the discovery of new evidence and to the reevaluation of the old, and it is now possible to develop a more comprehensive view of the entire period. This book traces the process of change that transformed the Bronze Age civilization into the city-state culture of the Classical Age. Each cen- tury from 1200 to 700 B.C.E. is explored through an individual site- Mycenae, Nichoria, Athens, Lefkandi, Corinth, and Ascra that illustrates the major features of each period. In- tended to complement recent more exhaustive and technical works, Citadel to City-State is a remarkable account of historical detective work that is beginning to shed light on Dark Age Greece.
