It is probable that the population of Greece declined, though the idea that some parts of the land became inhabited is probably exaggerated. For example, recently, archaeology has revealed that there was a major settlement at Lefkandi on the west coast of Euboea during the Dark Age, flourishing from c. 1,100 BC to c.750 BC, and reaching its height of prosperity in the C9th BC. There is a C8th BC tomb of a hero who is buried with his consort and horses that indicates great wealth and prestige. The region of Thessaly, Boeotia and Euboea has been shown by archaeology to have possessed a common culture of which the Lefkandi settlement is its centre. It is possible that there existed greater cohesion among city-states in other regions of Greece.
