Archaeological evidence for Greek population expansion in C8th BC

The archaeological record supports the theory that there was a substantial increase in population in Greece during the C8th BC. For example, a statistical analysis of datable graves in Attica indicates that the number of graves during the ninth century BC was relatively static, whereas during the period 800 - 700 BC the number increases six fold. It is likely that the population of Attica increased by four times during the first half of the C8th, and double again in the second half. Whilst this evidence is not conclusive, combined with other sources it strongly suggests that the population of Attica, and the whole of Greece, dramatically increased at this time.
