GENERAL SITE TYPE Hab
TYPE
1. Hab. Simpson and Dickinson [1979], 345 'House-remains were excavated here, ... '2. hab. Hiller von Gaertringen [1904], 39 'Da die Ecole durch andere dringende Arbeiten verhindert war, diese Untersuchungen fortzusetzen, und Gefahr im Verzuge war, hat dann im Jahre 1899 Robert Zahn an einer anderen Stelle, etwas weiter östlich, ebenfalls in einer tiefen Erosionsschlucht, dem Potamos bei Kamara gegraben. Wahrscheinlich wurden sich aber noch andere Stellen finden lassen, die in dieser Zeit bewohnt waren, wenn auch die Erhaltungsbedingungen nicht überall so günstig liegen.'
3. hab. Simpson [1981], 191 'Some house remains were excavated here, about 500 m. south of Kamari village, not far to north of Mesavouno.'
4. House. BSA [1956], 13 'Similar remains and pottery were found by Zahn in the river-bed in this region in the south-eastern sector of Thera.'
PERIOD (High Chronology)
1. Late Bronze I: (1570 BC - 1400 BC)
a. Simpson [1981]: 191, 'LB I'
b. Simpson and Dickinson [1979]: 345, 'LB I'
NOTE
1. I have a few doubts about this. The location relies on von Gaertringen, Thera III, 39 who speaks of 'Potamos' but there is another Potamos on the islet of Therasia. So this is based on von Gaertringen's joining Potamos with 'bei Kamara'.
