English term or phrase: to support communities
As early Greeks became better farmers and animal keepers, populations began to grow. Archaeology for the time shows that fairly large dwellings were being built, as in Lerna in the Argolid region. **Some communities supported several hundred communities**. People were also learning new skills, such as weaving textiles and smelting metal from ore
