GENERAL SITE TYPE  Hab

TYPE

1.    hab.   Simpson and Hagel [2006], 42    'Subsequent rescue excavation by A. Banaka-Demaki (AD loc. cit.) revealed two walls, forming an angle (i.e. part of a house), associated with LH IIIB and LH IIIC sherds, at a location c. 700 m distant from Blegen's excavations.', Blegen's excavations refers to C905, 'Korakou'. See the note for C1741.


PERIOD (High Chronology)

1. LH IIIB: (1320 BC - 1190 BC)
    a.    Simpson and Hagel [2006]: 42, '...associated with LH IIIB and LH IIIC sherds...'

2. LH IIIC: (1190 BC - 1060 BC)
    a.    Simpson and Hagel [2006]: 42, '...associated with LH IIIB and LH IIIC sherds...'

NOTE

1.  This site was placed by relating it to C905, 'Korakou'. It is thought to be 700 m. away from C905 which this is. I take the wall remains, visible in Google, to be what Simpson and Hagel [2006] are referring to on p. 42.
