PERIOD (High Chronology)

NOTES

1. Fachard says that the mycenaean necropolis ' ... fut découverte sur la route menant à Mavropoulos'. I can find no visual clues as to the whereabouts of this cemetery and have placed the marker rather arbitrarily on the road from Mistros (F1624) to Mavropoulo (F1622).

2. The BCH [1970] 1094 lists also ' ... quelques vases et un idole en φ datant du HR III B-C.'
