Citadel to City-State serves as an excellent summarization of ourpresent knowledge of the not-so-dark Dark Age as well as an admirable prologue tothe understanding of the subsequent Archaeic and Classical periods." -- DavidRupp, PhoenixThe Dark Age of Greece is one of the leastunderstood periods of Greek history. A terra incognita between the Mycenaeancivilization of Late Bronze Age Greece and the flowering of Classical Greece, theDark Age was, until the last few decades, largely neglected. Now new archaeologicalmethods and the discovery of new evidence have made it possible to develop a morecomprehensive view of the entire period. Citadel to City-State explores each centuryfrom 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 toshed light on Dark Age Greece.
