ABSTRACT
The older of the two burials is obviously Achaian, and probably early twelfth century. Some of the vases of the cremation burial are not yet really geometric, even of the transition. The krater is however of the very latest pre-geometric type, and might perhaps be regarded as transitional. The transition from sub-Mycenaean to proto-geometric pottery was a gradual, not a catastrophic change. The sub-Mycenaean remains lately identified in the Beirut Museum by Mr. Woolley are evidently relics of the Philistine migration. Iron then came to Greece probably as much from Anatolia as from the Danubian region. Cretan transitional and geometric pottery is well illustrated by finds at Praisos, Kourtais, and Vrokastro. The final southward movement into Greece from Bosnia and Macedonia took place when the use of iron had been adopted, apparently per saltum, whereas "in Italy the terramare culture merged into the Iron Age by a process of transition."
