What is Protogeometric?

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  11 October 2013

Extract

During the last forty years relatively few attempts have been made to define and describe that style of pottery known as Protogeometric. Following S. Wide's article on the Salamis graves, in which he identified the pottery associated with them as belonging to a new style, came B. Schweitzer's most valuable treatise in 1917, in which an attempt was made to bring together the whole of our knowledge up till that time. After 1917 little appeared until T. C. Skeat's The Dorians in Archaeology, published in 1932, in which the writer demonstrated the ‘excessive hospitality’ of Schweitzer's list of Protogeometric graves, and put forward the theory that the style originated in the North of Greece.
