PERIOD (High Chronology)

1. EH: (3100 BC - 2000 BC)

    a.    Sackett et al. [1966]: 41 '...a body sherd coated on both sides with a poorly reserved red glaze, may be E.H.'

    b.    Simpson and Dickinson [1979]: 268 ' ..., EH was found ... '

2. Late Helladic: (1700 BC - 1050 BC)

    a.    Sackett et al. [1966]: 41 'There are also a few pieces which seem to be of L.H. and Geometric date.'


NOTE

1.  Placed notionally based on Sackett's description: '... Divouni lies north of the road from Vistritsa to Asminion, at least 2 km. back from the sea.' Vistritsa is the present-day Neochori at F6137 (although I find no record of a name change. See C7089). Site position suggested by Dr. Alex Knodell (Carleton College).
