The Iron Age in Greece

The Iron Age in Greece, spanning roughly from 1100 to 800 BCE, marked a significant transition in society following the collapse of the Mycenaean civilization. During this period, iron became the dominant material for tools and weapons, leading to advancements in agriculture and warfare. Social structures evolved, and small communities began to form. This era also saw the emergence of trade and the beginnings of Greek culture, including language and art. By the end of the Iron Age, Greece entered the Archaic period, setting the stage for the development of city-states and the foundations of classical Greek civilization.
