The transition from bronze age to iron age in the Aegean : a heterarchical approach

Abstract

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the Bronze Age to Iron Age transition in the Aegean through a different perspective than has been used up until now, and see if heterarchy can be applied. This thesis will test to see whether heterarchy is an appropriate model, offer a view on the end of the Late Bronze Age, and explore the reasons iron technology replaced bronze technology in the Greek world.
