Oriental Influence in the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean Helmet Traditions in the 9th-7th Centuries B.C.: The Patterns of Orientalization

This monograph is intended to contribute to the study of the orientalizing phase in archaic Greece, through a systematic examination of the evidence provided by copper alloy and iron helmets. Dezsö also provides a framework for other material indicators of eastern contacts with Greece, by defining four distinct levels of orientalization as the basis of his analysis.
