PERIOD (High Chronology)
1. Late Helladic I: (1700 BC - 1635 BC)
a. Boyd [2001]: 172, 'Mountjoy mentions an unpublished LHI oval-mouthed amphora (1999, 312), which may suggest that this tomb should therefore be regarded as a late LHI foundation.'
2. Late Helladic II: (1635 BC - 1410 BC)
a. Pelon [1976]: 209, 'La tholos 2 est datée par Marinatos du début de l'HR II en raison de la présence dans le remblai de fragments d'amphores du style du Palais qui n'ont pas été illustrés.'
3. LH IIA: (1635 BC - 1470 BC)
a. Boyd [2001]: 172, 'Tholos tomb 2 is dated to LHIIA by the palace style jar fragments found in the chamber. Mountjoy mentions an unpublished LHI oval-mouthed amphora (1999, 312), which may suggest that this tomb should therefore be regarded as a late LHI foundation.'
b. Simpson [1981]: 135, 'The finely built tholoi, Tomb 1 .. and Tomb 2 ... should belong to LHIIA, to judge by the fragments of "palatial" jars found in them.'
c. Zavadil [2012]: 510, 'Die Funde erlauben eine chronologische Einordnung des Grabes mit Sicherheit in SH IIA.'
d. Simpson and Dickinson [1979]: 168, 'The finely built Ts. 1 (d. 12.1 m.) and 2 (d. 10.6 m.) should date to LH IIA, ...'
