PERIOD (High Chronology)
1. Middle Helladic: (2000 BC - 1600 BC)
a. Ålin [1962]: 126, 'Wahrscheinlich aus diesem Grab stammt ein gelb-minyscher Kylix im Museum von Chalkis.'
b. Phialon [2011]: 132, ' ..., peut-être occupé à l'HM, ... '
2. Late Helladic: (1700 BC - 1050 BC)
a. Simpson and Dickinson [1979]: 231, 'On the spur above is a thin spread of worn sherds including LH and G.'
b. Sackett et al. [1966]: 70, 'There is a thin spread of worn sherds with some obsidian ...; these include L.H. and Geometric, ...'
c. Phialon [2011]: 132, ' ... et des tessons HR repérés par l'équipe britannique ... '
d. Fachard [2012]: 318, 'HR, G, ... '
3. LH III: (1410 BC - 1060 BC)
a. Pelon [1976]: 242, 'Le seul objet trouvé dans la tombe est un gobelet à pied en minyen jaune. Il est probable que ce gobelet est une survivance et que la tombe doit être datée, comme le proposent V. Hankey et R. Hope Simpson, de l'HR III.'
b. Hankey [1952]: 49, '...containing a L.H. III kylix and sherds.'
c. Phialon [2011]: 133, 'HR III', Artifacts, Tomb
4. LH IIIA2: (1375 BC - 1320 BC)
a. Simpson [1981]: 56, 'LH IIIA2(-B?) G C'
b. Simpson and Dickinson [1979]: 231, '...; its contents may have included a kylix in grey ware, probably LH IIIA2.'
5. LH IIIB: (1320 BC - 1190 BC)
a. Simpson [1981]: 56, 'LH IIIA2(-B?) G C'
6. Geometric: (900 BC - 700 BC)
a. Simpson and Dickinson [1979]: 231, 'On the spur above is a thin spread of worn sherds including LH and G.'
b. Sackett et al. [1966]: 70, 'There is a thin spread of worn sherds with some obsidian ...; these include L.H. and Geometric, ...'
c. Simpson [1981]: 56, 'LH IIIA2(-B?) G C'
d. Fachard [2012]: 318, 'HR, G, ... '
NOTES
1. Simpson's [1981] 56 directions are incoherent. The church of Agia Paraskevi is at F1617. No point can be simultaneously 2 km. N of Katakolou and 250 m SW of the spur on which stands the church. Topoguide marks a spot W of the church and not quite 1 km. N of Katakolou as 'Mycenean Tomb'. This is what I followed. A user at Wikimapia has marked a spot about 115 m E of my mark (at 38°25'48"N 24°5'17"E) as the 'Tholos Burial of Katakolos'. There is a note describing this tholos here. These materials should be used with caution.
2. See Fachard [2012] 318, note 252 for bibliography.
3. The main LH discovery appears to have been the LHIII (Minyan) kylix described in Hankey [1959] 59 ('Kylix') and, same page, footnote 14a.
