Document Summary
Lecture #9: from the bronze age to the iron age. Other kingdoms nearby: new kingdom egypt, assyrians, babylonians. Mycenae = not unified kingdom; competing palace states. Lots of trade/gift giving b/w rulers of different kingdoms. Cascading affect that impacts other kingdoms/exchange web (other kingdoms fall apart) New kingdom egypt = only kingdom that survives. Pharaoh puts so much energy/resources into protecting egypt, that kingdom eventually falls. Denyen = egyptian word for greek word for greeks. Most people believe that myceneans invading = philistines. Mycenaean greece (lh iiia-b) submycenaean greece (lh iii) After collapse of trade network, greece has to use iron instead of bronze for tools. Iron = relatively plentiful in greece (not reliant on trade) Number of known sites in greece declined by 33-50% Porch, front room, central room w/hearth, storage facilities. Rectilinear huts (better built than huts at nichoria) Iron age temple rebuilt after village was abandoned. Looks like megaron (b/w chief"s hut and temple)
