GENERAL SITE TYPE  Settlement

TYPE

1.    hab.   Simpson and Dickinson [1979], 113    'The site, which may have been walled, is thickly strewn with BA pottery, LH III predominating, ...'
2.    hab.   Simpson and Janko [2011], 104    'Accordingly this site should probably be classified as a 'village' of medium size only.'
3.    Settlement.   Laconia I, 95    'This is the centre of a considerable Bronze Age settlement.'
4.    Settlement.   Ålin [1962], 95    'Bei der Hausruine Panayiotis fand Simpson eine Siedlung mit Scherben ... '

6.    Sherds.   Banou [1996], 51    'Hope Simpson hatte hier Scherben gefunden, ...'
7.    Sherds.   Simpson and Janko [2011], 104    'Although Mycenaean surface sherds were found in 1956 over a wide area, c. 250 m by c. 180 m, this spread appears to be partly due to later cultivation.'


SITE SIZE

- Simpson [1981]  p. 105,  Size: 45000 sq. m.  '..this spread may be largely due to cultivation and erosion, so that the site should probably be classed as "medium to large" rather than "large".'

- Laconia I  p. 97,  Size:  sq. m.  'Area not determined but 'The L.H. sherds were spread over a considerable area, extending a good deal farther than the limits of the outer line of walling, ...''

- Simpson and Dickinson [1979]  p. 113,  Size: 45000 sq. m.  '...over an area c. 250 m. N-S by 180 m.'
