HOW FAR DO THE PHYSICAL REMAINS OF THE “DARK AGES” IN GREECE ILLUMINATE THE SOCIETY IN WHICH THEY WERE CREATED? This essay will show how the physical remains of the Greek dark age can or cannot show how a society functioned and give an idea of the kind of people lived in that time. The essay will focus upon votive offerings, pottery grave markers and bronze figures, and the archaeological remains of buildings found in Nichorea and Lefkandi. Also how technological increase seen through comparison can give clues to the increase in trade and wealth within a society. The majority of evidence comes from grave goods in the form of votive offerings and pottery, such as those found at Kerameikos cemetery in Athens, and from settlements like Lefkandi on the island of Eubdea.
