Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Many new pottery styles were introduced in the Mycenaean period (9). Different from the monochrome and simple designs of Middle Helladic pottery was the Mycenaean Pictorial style, which featured human and animal figures, as on a famous example called the Mycenaean Warrior Krater.

Detailed explanation-2: -The large number of weapons which found in the tombs shows that the dead Mycenaeans were, among other, very good warriors. These are bronze big swords with elaborate handles from other materials-gold ivory, bone, stone-daggers, and knives-axes.

Detailed explanation-3: -During the Mycenaean period, the Greek mainland enjoyed an era of prosperity centered in such strongholds as Mycenae, Tiryns, Thebes, and Athens. Local workshops produced utilitarian objects of pottery and bronze, as well as luxury items, such as carved gems, jewelry, vases in precious metals, and glass ornaments.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Mycenaeans produced and decorated a lot of pottery, particularly stirrup jars which had a spout and held oil or wine. They also made a type of jar called an alabastron or squat jar which held ointment. Mycenaean armor was similar to later Greek armor, and the main piece was a cuirass or breastplate made of bronze.
