GENERAL SITE TYPE Cem
TYPE
1. Chamber Tomb. Melas [1985], 28 '...they contained ninety-seven complete and fragmentary pots as well as bronze weapons and small implements of bronze and lead.'PERIOD (High Chronology)
1. Late Helladic II: (1635 BC - 1410 BC)
a. Melas [1985]: 28, 'Apparently the tombs were in continuous use from II/IIIA1 to LH IIIB1.'
2. Late Minoan IIIA1: (1420 BC - 1390 BC)
a. Melas [1985]: 28, 'The majority of the vases, according to Charitonidis ..., belong to the LM IIIA1 period and present clear Minoan characteristics, ...'
3. Late Minoan IIIA2: (1390 BC - 1330 BC)
a. Melas [1985]: 28, '... in the group which is transitional from IIIA1 to IIIA2 there are some Mycenaean imports and strong Mycenaean influence is observable in a number of vases with Minoan shape, ...'
4. LH IIIB1: (1320 BC - 1250 BC)
a. Melas [1985]: 28, 'Apparently the tombs were in continuous use from II/IIIA1 to LH IIIB1.'
NOTE
1. Melas mixes the Helladic and Minoan scales here so that it is not always possible to tell which periods he is referring to. THe main idea is that the pots from this cemetery show a transition from Minoan to more and more dominant Mycenaean forms and influences.
