It offers a great study of the Iron Age period in Greece, from the fall of the Mycenean palaces to the beginning of the Persian Wars. The introduction provides a useful overview of the climate, agriculture, and demographics of the archaic period. And the book itself offers a wealth of innovative ideas on a variety of topics. I especially admire that the author takes ancient Greek literature with a grain of salt when it comes to extrapolating it to actual history.
