The most obvious example of the introduction of change over time into non-political histories of Greece concerns the history of the Greek countryside. Here, the influence of archaeology has been fundamental. The rise of intensive archaeological survey of the Greek countryside, from the late 1970s on, has revealed that that countryside was not marked by unchanging or slowly changing occupation, but by rapid changes in both settlement and exploitation.

Thus, the discipline remains divided, both for research and teaching purposes, into broad segments, which subdivide the long-run into a schematic sequence of chronological periods, each with an outline name.
