2. LH IIIA: (1410 BC - 1315 BC)
    a.    AD[1991]: 193,

3. LH IIIA2: (1375 BC - 1320 BC)
    a.    Simpson [1981]: 79, 'LH III(A2-B)'
    b.    Simpson and Dickinson [1979]: 260, 'LH III(A2-B)'

4. LH IIIB: (1320 BC - 1190 BC)
    a.    AD[1991]: 193,
    b.    Simpson and Dickinson [1979]: 260, 'LH III(A2-B)'

NOTE

1. Livieratou [2006] 108 distinguishes between Liaraki and Avlaki-Pouri. They are close together to the S of the village of Modi. Based on Livieratou's photo, fig. 38 on p. 109 and on Topoguide's marking of 'Remains' I feel confident in the marker position but have set the error radius to 200 m.
