2. Middle Minoan III: (1750 BC - 1675 BC)
    a.    Hood et al. [1964]: 83, 'The eight Minoan sherds kept appeared to include M.M. II - III (base of a Vaphio type cup with an overall black wash) ...'

NOTE

1.  Hood et al. [1964] require that this site be bounded on the E by a stream which crosses the road at a point about 2.9 km. from Vianno (p. 83). There is, in fact, a small stream which goes over the road at approx. 35.034425° N, 25.405401° E (there is a soccer field at that location). The distance from this crossing back to Ano Viannos is about 2.8 km. (depending on which exact starting point is chosen). This stream continues to the S and flows around the E side of the proposed location.
