GENERAL SITE TYPE Cem

TYPE

1.    Tumulus.   Simpson [1981], 174    '..but a group of weapons and some kylikes were recovered.'
2.    Tumulus.   Simpson and Dickinson [1979], 298    'The tumulus (d. 27 m.) is c. 200 m. SSE of Hexalophos ... '

PERIOD (High Chronology)

1. LH IIIC: (1190 BC - 1060 BC)
    a.    Simpson [1981]: 174, 'LH IIIC'
    b.    Simpson and Dickinson [1979]: 298, 'The kylikes are to be dated probably late in LH IIIC.'

NOTES

1. I think that the placement satisfies all of Simpson's constraints: 200 m. south-southeast of Hexalophos, north side of the road, 27 m. in diameter (in Simpson [1981], 174, 'J 10 Hexalophos')

2. Simpson and Dickinson [1979] 298 say "This is a find of considerable importance, but in the absence of comparative evidence need not necessarily be considered an "intrusive" feature, indicating the immigration of people from Epirus."
