The Protogeometric style (or Proto-Geometric) is a style of Ancient Greek pottery led by Athens and produced, in Attica and Central Greece, between roughly 1025 and 900 BCE,[1][2][3] during the Greek Dark Ages.[4] It was succeeded by the Early Geometric period.
Earlier studies considered the beginning of this style around 1050 BCE.[5][6]
