Proto-Geometric pottery

Proto-Geometric pottery refers to a style of ancient Greek ceramics from roughly 1050 to 900 BCE, marking the transition from the earlier Bronze Age to the Iron Age. It features simple, abstract decorations such as lines, dots, and geometric shapes, often arranged in patterns but with less complexity than later styles. This pottery reflects early artistic experimentation and social organization in Greece, showing a move toward more sophisticated ceramic techniques and design. It served both functional and decorative purposes, providing insight into the cultural and technological developments of the period.
