PERIOD (High Chronology)

1. Minoan: (3100 BC - 1075 BC)
    a.    CrChr [1965]: 389, ...characteristically Minoan.

2. Late Helladic: (1700 BC - 1050 BC)
    a.    Kanta [1980]: 175, 'According to Xanthoudidis there was a wall of Mycenaean date at the nearby Pyrgos or Ellinikon location.'

3. Late Minoan III: (1420 BC - 1075 BC)
    a.    Syriopoulos [1995]: 1223, 'Unspecified LH III period architectural remains ...'

NOTE

1.  Syriopoulos names four sites: a) Vourlia, b) Ellenika-Gouves, c) Kakouri-Prinos and d) Kryphos Spilios. I have not tried to distinguish between them. Kanta [1980] 175 says that the Vourlia location is 'north-east of Selladhes, ...' and the Gouves location is '... between Selladhes and Vourlia, ...'. (RHC)
