Human habitation of Cyprus dates back to the Paleolithic era. Cyprus's geographic position has caused the island to be influenced by differing Eastern Mediterranean civilizations over millennia. Periods of Cyprus's history from 1050 BC have been named according to styles of pottery found, as follows: Cypro-Geometric I: 1050–950 BC Cypro-Geometric II: 950–900 BC Cypro-Geometric III: 900–750 BC Cypro-Archaic I: 750–600 BC Cypro-Archaic II: 600–480 BC Cypro-Classical I: 480–400 BC Cypro-Classical II: 400–310 BC
