	Home Greece Egypt Italy Corinth Petra Boeotia Student Projects Classics Website After an era of widespread poverty and decline in skills, commonly known as the dark ages, a cultural revival in about 800BC accompanied the emergence of the city states across Greece. With this came increased prosperity and a climate which encouraged artists and artisans to experiment with their subject matter. The Archaic Period realizes some of the finest art and artists in ancient times. The Museum of Classical Archaeology houses a variety of ceramic ware, sculpture and objects of interest located from various parts of the Mediterranean. The selection of ceramics ranges from the Geometric period, through the height of the Archaic Period to pieces dated to the Hellenstic era.
