I found most of my sources by looking through the Greek (Df) and Italian (Dg) History sections at the ID Weeks Library. I also found several reference books that were very helpful. I searched through 5 volumes of the L’année hilogique (in the Greek History, Roman History, and Archaeology sections) and had no trouble finding material in English, but I found nothing useful on this time period.
I found World Wide Web sources by starting at the USD Anthropology home page, clicking on Archaeology, then Classical Archaeology and finally Hellenic Cultures. That took me to the Perseus Project. I also used the Alta Vista search engine and Archnet, which can also be reached from the USD Anthropology page.
