The early Bronze Age in the Aegean, also known as the Early Cycladic period, is divided into sub-periods, corresponding primarily to the advances in pottery techniques and design. By the first period of the Bronze Age (Halcolithic Age), the Cyclades had already developed a culture with its own distinct features. The expansion of shipping and trade between 2800-2700 BC generated the growth of ports, which became small urban centers. Besides Phylakopi on Milos, other centers were Akrotiri on Santorini, Aghia lrin on Kea, Parikia on Paros, and so on. Fortified settlements also appeared, such as at Kastri on Syros, Panormos on Naxos, Kynthos on Delos, Halandriani on Syros, and so far on. But these...

The information we have about historic limes has many gaps. We know for certain, however, that Cycladic civilization continued to develop, and that each island constituted a separate state ruled by either an oligarchic, democratic or tyrannical regime. After the collapse of the Mycenaean economy and the abandonment of the large Mycenaean settlement on Naxos, there is evidence that Ionian tribes from Attica moved into the Cyclades. Hence, during historic times, nearly all the inhabitants of the islands were Ionians. Still, traces of the Doric tribes remained (on the islands colonized by Sparta: Anafi, Milos, Santorini, Folegandros), of the Dryopes (Kythnos), the Thracians (Naxos), as well as those of...
