TYPE

1.    settlement.   Hood et al. [1964], 91    'Extensive Minoan settlement ... traces of occupation, with a heavy concentration of sherds and stones from house walls, ... '
2.    Settlement.   Nowicki [1996], 260    '...settlements...'

SITE SIZE

- Hood et al. [1964]  p. 91,  Size: 12000 sq. m.  '... spread over an area of about 150 m. from the summit of the hill southwards, and over the whole width of it being about 80 m. from west to east.'

PERIOD (High Chronology)

1. Early Minoan I: (3100 BC - 2650 BC)
    a.    Nowicki [1996]: 260, '...(sherds, RHC) which demonstrate EM I or II A occupation.'

2. Early Minoan IIA: (2650 BC - 2450 BC)
    a.    Nowicki [1996]: 260, '...(sherds, RHC) which demonstrate EM I or II A occupation.'

3. Middle Minoan: (2100 BC - 1675 BC)
    a.    Hood et al. [1964]: 91, 'These (sherds, RHC) seem to range from M.M. to L.M. I, with little or nothing later.'

4. Middle Minoan I: (2100 BC - 1900 BC)
    a.    Nowicki [1996]: 260, 'In general the pottery represents the MM I to LM I periods, but the Old Palatial phase seems to predominate; ...'

5. Paleopalatial: (1900 BC - 1700 BC)
    a.    Nowicki [1996]: 260, 'In general the pottery represents the MM I to LM I periods, but the Old Palatial phase seems to predominate; ...'

6. Middle Minoan IB: (1900 BC - 1850 BC)
    a.    Nowicki [1996]: 260, '...the MM I B - II evidence is represented by diagnostic examples of cups and bridge-spouted jars.'
    b.    Hood et al. [1964]: 91, 'But some bases of small wheel-made goblets might be assignable to M.M. IB.'

7. Middle Minoan II: (1850 BC - 1750 BC)
    a.    Hood et al. [1964]: 91, 'The great bulk of the pottery, ..., including many fragments of fine decorated vases, belonged to M.M. II, M.M. III, and L.M. I.'

8. Middle Minoan IIB: (1775 BC - 1750 BC)
    a.    Nowicki [1996]: 260, '...the MM I B - II evidence is represented by diagnostic examples of cups and bridge-spouted jars.'

9. Middle Minoan III: (1750 BC - 1675 BC)
    a.    Hood et al. [1964]: 91, 'The great bulk of the pottery, ..., including many fragments of fine decorated vases, belonged to M.M. II, M.M. III, and L.M. I.'

10. Late Minoan I: (1675 BC - 1470 BC)
    a.    Nowicki [1996]: 260, 'In general the pottery represents the MM I to LM I periods, but the Old Palatial phase seems to predominate; ...'
