The international Vienna workshops on "LH III C Chronology and Synchronism" aim at clarifying the chronological stages of the Late Helladic III C period of the 12th and 11th centuries B.C., the period after the fall of the Mycenaean palaces and their advanced civilisation. Since LH III C was an illiterate culture, it is only possible to define its successive periods, i.e. their historical sequence, by means of the stylistic stages in the development of its pottery. The second workshop of the series, "LH III C Chronology and Synchronisms II: LH III C Middle" held in 2004, focussed on the middle phase(s) of LH III C, during which Mycenaean Greece reached a final stage of cultural and economic achievements. At this workshop, leading ceramics specialists and excavators attempted to define the stages of LH III C pottery development in various regions of Mycenaean Greece and to incorporate them into an overall chronological system. In addition to the lectures, the conference volume also contains a discussion of general issues and theoretical questions.
