Without any doubt Lefkandi is an iconic site for the archaeology of Early Greece. Lefkandi combines domestic evidence from the settlement on Xeropolis and rich funerary data from the EIA burial plots. The finds from the cemeteries are well known and when in 1980s the publication of the early excavations came out - the notion of a Dark Age in the Aegean and especially at Lefkandi had to be reassessed.
