PERIOD (High Chronology)

1. Middle Minoan: (2100 BC - 1675 BC)
    a.    Watrous et al. [2004]: 537, 'Artifacts: MM I - LM III sherds ...'

2. Late Minoan I: (1675 BC - 1470 BC)
    a.    Watrous et al. [2004]: 537, 'Artifacts: MM I - LM III sherds ...'

3. Late Minoan II: (1470 BC - 1420 BC)
    a.    Watrous et al. [2004]: 537, 'Artifacts: MM I - LM III sherds ...'

4. Late Minoan III: (1420 BC - 1075 BC)
    a.    Watrous et al. [2004]: 537, 'Artifacts: MM I - LM III sherds ...'

5. Geometric: (900 BC - 700 BC)
    a.    Watrous et al. [2004]: 537, '...; G: a Geometric burial, plus many Geometric sherds and cremations ...; '

NOTE

1. Following Watrous' directions leads to two different points: Point 1 (700 m WSW of the Kalivia Monastery): 35.050918° N 24.826486° E and Point 2 (850 m ENE of Phaistos): 35.054229° N 24.823021° E They are 483 m apart. Nonetheless I think that Watrous intends what is now called 'The Tomb of Loghios' at 136 m to the NW of Watrous' Point 2.
