GENERAL SITE TYPE Tholos
TYPE
1. Tholos. Nowicki [2000], 139 '...there is a tholos tomb of Dark Age type.'PERIOD (High Chronology)
1. Late Minoan IIIB: (1330 BC - 1200 BC)
a. Nowicki [2000]: 139, 'There is a tholos tomb of Dark Age type'
2. Late Minoan IIIC: (1200 BC - 1075 BC)
a. Nowicki [2000]: 139, 'Nearby, I have seen at least three sherds of LM IIIC-PG date.'
3. Protogeometric: (1100 BC - 900 BC)
a. Nowicki [2000]: 139, 'Nearby, I have seen at least three sherds of LM IIIC-PG date.'
4. Geometric: (900 BC - 700 BC)
a. Nowicki [2000]: 139, 'There is a tholos tomb of Dark Age type.'
NOTE
1. Nowicki [2000] defines the term 'Dark Age' on p. 16: 'The label Dark Age as a general historical term seems to be better than both Protogeometric and Early Iron Age and I will use it in that context when appropriate in this book. ... In Crete the best absolute dating would be very late LM IIIB to the early Geometric, i.e. some decades before 1200 (1230?) to c. 800 B.C.'
