The Vienna workshops on LH III C Chronology and Synchronisms workshops serve the purpose of developing a generally applicable chronological framework of the LH III C period and to contribute to a better understanding of the history of this important phase of the early history of Greece. The third workshop was dedicated to the last phases of the Mycenaean civilisation and the transition to the Protogeometric period.Apart from the presentation of mostly unpublished materials from old and new excavations, the proceedings of this workshop contain contributions to many subjects concerning the transition from the Late Bronze to the Early Iron Ages. Several speakers pointed out that the end of the Mycenaean civilisation and the transition to the Early Iron Age expressed itself by different cultural phenomena in the various regions of Greece. One of the main topics was the much debated question whether or not there existed a so-called Submycenaean period, and if so, how should it be defined? Moreover, a new proposal for the absolute chronology of the end of the Late Bronze Age is suggested which will certainly raise a lively discussion.
