Summary

Aside from the obvious continuities, the pottery of this period has some new features, in both shapes (Figure 40.1) and decoration. These trends may seem at odds. On the one hand, decoration abandons the naturalism of the previous period, even on Crete; on the other, a ‘pictorial’ style emerges that will last until the end of the Bronze Age. In both cases there is a more or less pronounced break from Neopalatial pottery.
