Document Summary
The greeks also used letters as numbers. (e. g. deka=10) Thessaly dimini: late neolithic megaron (3 hard structures; porch, entry way, and a back room). In the back room, we have a fire pit. It is perhaps the home of a chief, or a meeting place, or religious significance. Religion was embedded in the life of ancient greece. In the last 500 years or so, we have the chalcolithic era (chalkos = copper; lithos = stone) Population shift (no longer are they in the north section, it shifts southward). You don"t grow olives on firm land, but hillside areas. It is largely due to the domestication of grapes/olives. The greeks learned how to work with copper and tin. Harder than copper, it can be used as a weapon because copper is typically too soft. It makes better tools, weapons, and displays of wealth. Turkey was used up quickly, and there was some in what we call spain today.
