PERIOD (High Chronology)

    a.    AR[1995]: 7, 'Pottery dates the tombs to LH IIIA2-LH IIIB.'
    b.    Privitera [2013]: 117, 'La ceramica è datata al TE IIIA2 - TE IIIB1.'

3. LH IIIB: (1320 BC - 1190 BC)
    a.    AR[1995]: 7, 'Pottery dates the tombs to LH IIIA2-LH IIIB.'

NOTE

1. Simpson and Dickinson [1979] 206, 'F 18 Voula: Alyki' reference two chamber tomb complexes in this area, this one (C5066) and C1534. They list finds from these cemeteries (but without specifying which finds go with which) as follows (207): "Relatively large numbers of burials and vases, predominantly LH IIIA-B, were found in the tombs, but few other goods; further burials were often found in niches and pits in the dromoi. A LG vase was found in one tomb, apparently a votive; two LPG vases are also attributed to this area (CVA Heidelberg 3, Pl. 102:6, 8), said to be the site of ancient Aixone."
