Development and Innovations
Amphora975-950 BC
• Mycenaean period– Strongest influence =
shapes chosen for decoration• Belly Amphora, the neck

#1 - Fast wheel Use• Increased height and
surface• Invented 2000BC
– Fell out of use– rediscovered
#2 – Firing Process• Temperature increased
– Darker, more lustrous glaze
![Page 8: Symposia What do you know?. PROTO-GEOMETRIC PERIOD The first major style produced by Athens.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070412/56649f115503460f94c23953/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
