note:
The term Archaic was coined in the 18th century by art historians in order to describe the transition of the Greek art between the Geometric (9th-8th century BC) and the Classical Period (5th-4th century BC). The Archaic Period covered roughly a time span from the 7th to the 6th century BC (700-500 BC).
