Korakou culture

[1] Remains of the culture have been excavated widely across south and central mainland Greece, in the Peloponnese, Attica, Euboea, Boeotia, Phocis, and Locris.

Examples of Korakou pottery have been found still more widely, as far as Knossos in Crete, Lefkas in the west, Thessaly, and on Ios and Keos in the Cyclades.

[3] The place name terms for all these cultures were proposed by Colin Renfrew in 1972 as a replacement for the "Early Helladic" periodizations; however, both have remained in use.

[4] The two-storey fortified House of the Tiles at Lerna in the Peloponnese was an untypically large structure, at about 25 x 12 metres, and is the best-known of the architectural remains.

[7] A good deal of broken pottery sherds have survived, which have been divided into two types of "fine" wares, mostly with a ceramic slip, often burnished, and some with painted decoration.
