Megaron

Their houses were generally constructed on a rectangular plan with an open porch (the megaron structure). Cities were sometimes built with defensive walls, and sometimes not. The megaron structure has been associated by some archaeologists with the early Greek migrants, but it is not a construction typical of other Indo-Europeans and it may have been an indigenous development. It appeared in Thessaly during the Early and Middle Helladic period and in Anatolia after c. 3700 BC. Burials were in cist graves (pithoi) - the figure being placed in either a crouching or extended position.
