Stone Age. 



In Thessaly, Boe- 

 otia, and Phokis, 

 which may have 

 been inhabited by 

 Aryan - speakers, 

 the use of stone 

 existed longer 

 than in South 

 Greece. The later 

 era of North 

 Greece is chalco- 

 lithic (i.e., bronze 

 and stone were 

 used side by side), 

 and continued so 

 until the Early 

 Iron Age. (See 

 "Aegean Arch.") 



Period op Aryan Culture. 



Early Iron Age. 

 (Commencement c. b.c. 1200.) 



With the advent of the iron-using Indo-European speakers 

 from the North the Bronze Age culture of Crete, the Cyclades, 

 and Greece concludes, and the Homeric period commences. The 

 Phaestos Disk was discovered among Middle Minoan III. 

 objects.
