One & a half centuries of subsequent fieldwork have exposed the remains of hundreds of settlements & thousands of tombs characterized by the distinctive material culture termed Mycenaean that flourished for over six centuries (c. 1700-1050 BCE). This lengthy duration of the mainland Greek lbA (better known as the Late Helladic [LH] or Mycenaean era) is conventionally subdivided into three major stages of development: pre-palatial or early Mycenaean (LH I-IIB; c. 1700-1425/1400 BCE); palatial (LH IIIA1-LH IIIB2; c. 1425/1400-1200/1190 BCE); & post-palatial (LH IIIC; c. 1200/1190-1050 BCE). The regions within which Mycenaean material culture was dominant changed significantly as a function of time, as did the culture's external contacts within the Mediterranean world & continental Europe.
