GENERAL SITE TYPE Pottery

TYPE

1.    Pottery.   Simpson and Dickinson [1979], 289    ' ... a squat alabastron and an askoid jug ..., labelled "Tsiambaslar" (=Chabaslar).'
2.    Pottery.   Simpson [1981], 169    'In the Almyros Museum are a squat alabastron and an askoid jug ... labelled "Tsiambaslar" (= Chabaslar).'
3.    Pottery.   Ålin [1962], 146    'Von hier stammen 2 Alabastra aus SH II und IIIA.'

PERIOD (High Chronology)

1. Late Helladic II: (1635 BC - 1410 BC)
    a.    Ålin [1962]: 146, ' ... aus SH II und IIIA.'
    b.    Simpson and Dickinson [1979]: 289, 'Both are LH II, ... '

2. LH IIA: (1635 BC - 1470 BC)
    a.    Simpson and Dickinson [1979]: 289, ' ..., probably LH IIB but possibly LH IIA.'

3. LH IIB: (1470 BC - 1410 BC)
    a.    Simpson [1981]: 169, 'LH II(B?)'
    b.    Simpson and Dickinson [1979]: 288, ' ..., probably LH IIB but possibly LH IIA.'

4. LH IIIA: (1410 BC - 1315 BC)
    a.    Ålin [1962]: 146, ' ... aus SH II und IIIA.' I wonder whether Dr. Ålin doesn't mean SH IIA?

NOTE

1. Simpson does not give any location information in Simpson [1981], 169, 'Chabaslar (modern Vouvaina)' except to say:"The Mycenaean site from which they came has not yet been closely examined."
