GENERAL SITE TYPE  Pottery

TYPE

1.    Sherds.   Simpson and Lazenby [1973], 154    'One sherd of soft buff to pink clay, with white slip and traces of a band of paint, appears to be part of a Mycenaean Kylix.'


PERIOD (High Chronology)

1. LH III: (1410 BC - 1060 BC)
    a.    Simpson and Lazenby [1973]: 154, '...appears to be part of a Mycenaean Kylix.'

NOTE

1.  I have assumed that the Paralia Tsambika (F2088) is the 'southern beach at Kolimbia' referred to in Simpson and Lazenby [1973]. There are a number of tavernas here and it is not possible to be certain that we have the right one although I have picked out tavernas at F2090 and F2091. If this is correct then the marker is more or less usefully placed. But this is a guess.
