The Cycladic Culture flourished in the Aegean Islands, particularly during the Early Bronze Age, around 3000 to 2000 BCE. This culture is best known for its distinctive marble figurines, often depicting human forms, which are thought to have had religious or ritual significance. The Cycladic people also engaged in trade, exchanging goods with neighboring cultures, which contributed to their artistic and technological development.
In addition to their art, the Cycladic Culture is recognized for its advanced pottery and the construction of complex settlements. The islands featured well-planned structures, including homes and communal spaces, reflecting a sophisticated social organization. Archaeological sites, such as Akrotiri on Santorini, provide valuable insights into their daily life and cultural practices.
