There was another influx of settlers around 2500 BC, though not in large numbers and these intermarried with the existing inhabitants. The "aboriginees" were probably black-haired Mediterranean types. New settlements were founded in Argolis, including Tiryns, Mycenae and Lerna. The immigrants settled in northern Greece too, and here there is evidence of some violence. The Thessalian Sesklo settlement at Servia on the Haliakmon was destroyed by fire around 2500 BC and the subsequent pottery is polished black rather than red, exhibiting incised or painted geometric decorations and spirals. Clay phalli have been discovered. War brought the dominance of the male sex. Villages in Thessaly started to be walled. A typical site can be found at Dhimini. The megaron style of building, found at Troy, begins to make its appearance
