4. Middle Helladic: (2000 BC - 1600 BC)
a. Sackett et al. [1966]: 80, 'The sherds from here are of Neolithic, E.H., and M.H. type.'

d. Simpson and Dickinson [1979]: 233, 'The sherds include N, EH II, and MH.', 'The settlement seems to have been substantial in EH and MH, and remains the only significant prehistoric settlement yet found in the southernmost region of Euboea.'
5. LH III: (1410 BC - 1060 BC)
a. Simpson and Dickinson [1979]: 233, 'One possible LH IIIC sherd ... is not sufficient to establish occupation in LH.'
6. LH IIIC: (1190 BC - 1060 BC)

NOTE
1. The toponym 'Lefka' can be located on the map in Sackett et al. [1966] 79, Figure 15. It is part of the northern shore of the Bay of Styra. Sackett's Church of the Theotokos is, presumably, the little church at F5548.
