Ancient Settlement in Greek Islands
A Greek settlement on Euboea island inhabited from the Early Bronze Age (2100 BCE) to the end of the Geometric Period (700 BCE).
Lefkandi is a key site in the Aegean during both the Bronze and Iron Age. The ancient settlement on Xeropolis is a tell which was occupied without break from the Early Bronze Age (c. 2100 BC) to the end of the Iron Age (c. 700 BC). The site is located between two well-known ancient cities, Chalcis and Eretria on the island of Euboea. Xeropolis was first excavated in 1964 under the direction of Mervyn Popham and Hugh Sackett.

Excavations of the nearby cemeteries have revealed important information about the Greek "Dark Ages".
