GENERAL SITE TYPE Tholos
TYPE
1. Tholos. Sackett et al. [1966], 57 'Papavasileiou reports a robbed stone-built tholos of Mycenaean type erected on the rock ...'PERIOD (High Chronology)
1. Late Helladic: (1700 BC - 1050 BC)
a. Sackett et al. [1966]: 57, '...a robbed stone-built tholos of Mycenaean type ...', '... a seal of Mycenaean type is said to have been found near by.'
NOTE
1. Sackett [1966] p. 57, no. 36, says 'The site is situated on the first saddle of a rocky valley (Klidhariai) leading north from Pei into the hills ...' The marker is, I believe, placed in that first saddle. It is not impossible that the circular structure under the marker is the sought-for tholos site but I cannot be certain.
