GENERAL SITE TYPE Chamber Tomb
TYPE
1. Chamber Tomb. Georgiadis [2012], 6 'A single Late Helladic (LH) IIIB chamber tomb was discovered as a result of road work along the eastern part of a gentle oblong hill named Kastello or Kastelles, ...'PERIOD (High Chronology)
1. LH IIIB: (1320 BC - 1190 BC)
a. Georgiadis [2012]: 6, '...Late Helladic (LH) IIIB chamber tomb...'
NOTE
1. The source in G012, p. 6 (3) says that this is 'ca. 4 km southwest of Kos town'. But Kastello hill is to the southeast. Topoguide puts it there and it is actually shown in that position in another article of Georgiadis' (G008, fig. 3, p. 236) and so that is where I have placed it.
