GENERAL SITE TYPE Cem
TYPE
1. Cem. Renfrew [2011], 302 'CEM. A large LH IIIA2 or IIIB Mycenaean chamber tomb was found here, probably already robbed, and totally destroyed by mining before any archaeological investigation could take place.'2. Cem. Simpson [1981], 190 'A Mycenaean chamber tomb was also found at Trypites nearby, further uphill (from Sotira, rhc).'
3. Chamber Tomb. Schallin [1993], 17 'This is a chamber tomb site ... '
4. Chamber Tomb. Barber [1981], 17 'A Mycenaean chamber tomb (destroyed in construction work) ... '
5. Chamber Tomb. Simpson and Dickinson [1979], 317 'Another LH chamber tomb has been found here, just upslope from Sotira.'
PERIOD (High Chronology)
1. Early Bronze Age: (3200 BC - 2100 BC)
a. Simpson and Dickinson [1979]: 317, 'EB LH IIIA2 (-B?)'
2. Late Helladic: (1700 BC - 1050 BC)
a. Simpson [1981]: 190, 'A Mycenaean chamber tomb was also found at Trypites nearby, further uphill.'
3. LH IIIA: (1410 BC - 1315 BC)
a. Schallin [1993]: 17, 'LH IIIA and B sherds were found associated with the tomb.'
4. LH IIIA2: (1375 BC - 1320 BC)
a. Simpson [1981]: 190, 'LH IIIA2(-B?)'
b. Renfrew [2011]: 302, ' ... LH IIIA2 or IIIB Mycenaean chamber tomb ... '
c. Barber [1981]: 17, ' ... with LH IIIA2 - B pottery.'
d. Simpson and Dickinson [1979]: 317, 'EB LH IIIA2 (-B?)'
5. LH IIIB: (1320 BC - 1190 BC)
a. Simpson [1981]: 190, 'LH IIIA2(-B?)'
b. Schallin [1993]: 17, 'LH IIIA and B sherds were found associated with the tomb.'
c. Renfrew [2011]: 302, ' ... LH IIIA2 or IIIB Mycenaean chamber tomb ... '
d. Barber [1981]: 17, ' ... with LH IIIA2 - B pottery.'
e. Simpson and Dickinson [1979]: 317, 'EB LH IIIA2 (-B?)'
NOTE
1. The church of Haghios Panteleimon (F5958) is in eastern central Melos. Just to the NNE of this church is a longish valley with an intermittent stream. On the east side of this valley is the upland area of Lagadha/Langhada (F5959). In this general region are located two find spots: C1190 (Sotira) and C1192 (Trypites). C1192 (Trypites) is reported as having been destroyed by quarrying/mining/construction before any investigative work could be undertaken. It is not possible to place either of these sites with any assurance. Renfrew [1982] does not know exactly where they are and gives suggested map coordinates showing that they are at the same longitude and that Trypites is about 100 m. S of Sotira and that they are both about 300 m E of Haghios Panteleimon (F5958) and about 800 m N. The placement shown here tries to follow Renfrew but should be regarded as purely notional.
