PERIOD (High Chronology)
1. Late Helladic: (1700 BC - 1050 BC)
a. Barber [1981]: 17, 'A Mycenaean angular alabastron ... '
2. LH III: (1410 BC - 1060 BC)
a. Simpson [1981]: 185, 'LH(III)'
b. Simpson and Dickinson [1979]: 307, 'LH (III)'
3. LH IIIA: (1410 BC - 1315 BC)
a. Koutsoukou [1992:2]: 461, ' ... fine bands and lines (LH IIIA-B).'
4. LH IIIB: (1320 BC - 1190 BC)
a. Koutsoukou [1992:2]: 461, ' ... fine bands and lines (LH IIIA-B).'
5. LH IIIC: (1190 BC - 1060 BC)
a. Schallin [1993]: 13, 'The pot is dated to the late LBA and possibly indicates the presence of a tomb in the neighburhood.'
NOTES
1. An alabastron in the Andros museum is thought to have come from the region of this town and, as there is no real find spot, the placement is notional. Barber reports that the local people 'recall the discovery of what was probably a tomb'.
2. Schallin [1993] 8, table 1, defines late 'LBA' as encompassing LHIIIC
