Cycladic society

Cycladic society, existing around 3200-1100 BCE in the Aegean Sea, was a Bronze Age civilization known for its distinctive marble figurines and organized island communities. They engaged in trade, crafted jewelry, and developed early maritime skills. Society was likely organized around village-based communities with local leadership, and their economy relied on fishing, trading, and resource management from the islands. Their culture reflects a high degree of craftsmanship and artistry, as seen in their minimalist yet expressive marble sculptures. Although much about their social structure remains uncertain, they played a key role in early Aegean civilizations and the development of Greek culture.
