GENERAL SITE TYPE Cem

TYPE

1.    Cem.   Kleitsas [2014], 1    'The only prehistoric burial (grave 59, ...) belonged to a man who, as the burial gifts indicate, was a "warrior". The offerings in question were a bronze sword and a dagger, two bronze spearheads, eleven bronze bosses and twenty eight smaller bronze buttons, coming from a leather corselet or breastplate, also two rock crystal beads.'
2.    Pit Grave.   Douzougli and Papadopoulos [2011], 22    'Tomb 59, ..., was separated from all the other tombs by a considerable area of unused ground.'

PERIOD (High Chronology)

1. LH IIIB: (1320 BC - 1190 BC)
    a.    Douzougli and Papadopoulos [2011]: 22, 'A few scattered bronze objects, probably deriving from disturbed burials, ..., dating to the IIIB-C period. The earliest burial in situ, however, dating to the Late Bronze Age, was clearly the primary grave, around which the other tombs were arranged.'

2. LH IIIC: (1190 BC - 1060 BC)
    a.    Kleitsas [2014]: 1, 'The grave has been dated as belonging to the 12th century BC or to the Late Helladic IIIC period.', This is Tomb 59.
    b.    Douzougli and Papadopoulos [2011]: 22, 'A few scattered bronze objects, probably deriving from disturbed burials, ..., dating to the IIIB-C period. The earliest burial in situ, however, dating to the Late Bronze Age, was clearly the primary grave, around which the other tombs were arranged.'
