Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

That is one period in play these last 30 years because continuing excavation of artifacts located the several "palace" destructions, Crete, "Syro-Palastine" and Pelopponese PLUS documentary evidence (translations of cunieform various lang that had languished in obscure museum vaults) indicate earlier settler/colonization of those territories by city-states migration and conquest from points SE and NE of the Levant, north and southern Mediterranean coasts and deltas, and even the Balkans, if you will: re ipsa loquitor.

Fossil forensic analysis is redundant; recent (m)DNA sequencing [1, 2] confirmed the obvious inadequacies of stereotyping by "nationality" or naming conventions, now or at any time in the past 10,000 years.

Historical linguists have paid a lot more attention to documents to decipher how, where, when, and why people adopt names for themselves and places in their possession. Corporate M&A ritual in the present day as it always has been -- especially in Greece considering legendary invasions of the inexhaustible "tribes".

"Minoan" material culture scarcely anymore conveys the meaning of originality given to it by european scholarship at peak imperial hegemony and idolatry of the "Heroic Age" of Greece.

Diversity is the key to economic and political evolution.
