Relations of east and west between B.C. 1200 ? 600

In this study relationships that occured in Aegean Basin were investigated by using ceramic, architectural and plastic data, which are the main materials of archeology for the period from Early Iron Age to Orientalizing Age.During the first part of the thesis, ideas of other researchers were presented in an unbiased way. Ceramic, architectural and scluptural data of the interested period were evaluated as the main source of information, respectiveley and seperately. Protogeometric and Geometric Periods were accepted as subperiods for ceramics, while temporal constraints were used for architectural evaluation. Due to insufficient data for sculptural evaluation, sclupltures were ordered according to their finding area.The second part of the thesis is not a 'results' section. In this section, issues that were presented in the first section were critically evaluated. A new perspective to understand the considered period was tried to be setteled under the light of these data.
