Mycenaean pottery is the pottery, produced by Mycenaean potters and divided by archaeologists into a series of stylistic phases, which can be grouped into four major stages, which roughly correspond with cultural/historical stages.
- Late Helladic I-IIA (ca. 1675/1650 - 1490/1470 B.C.)
- Late Helladic IIB-IIIA1 (ca. 1490/1470 - 1390/1370 B.C.)
- Late Helladic IIIA2-B (ca. 1390/1370 -1190 B.C.)
- Late Helladic IIIC (ca. 1190-1050/1025 B.C.).
Submycenaean is now generally regarded as the final stage of Late Helladic IIIC (and perhaps not even a very significant one), and is followed by Protogeometric pottery (1050/25-900 B.C.)[1]. Archaeological evidence for a Dorian invasion at any time between 1200 and 900 B.C. is absent, nor can any pottery style be associated with the Dorians.
Dendrochronological and C14 evidence for the start of the Protogeometric period now indicates this should be revised upwards to at least 1070 B.C. if not earlier.[2]
