Proto-Geometric period
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Proto-Geometric period is a period in history, in the 11th century B.C., in Athens.
In this period new developments and innovations were taking place in Athens, although other styles of vase painting had existed, it was in this period that new techniques went on to lead the pottery market.
Some of the innovations included some new Mycenean influenced shapes, such as the belly-handled amphora, the neck handled amphora, the krater, and the lekythos. Attic artists redesigned these vessels using the fast wheel to increase the height and therefore the area available for decoration.
