GENERAL SITE TYPE Tomb

TYPE

1.    Tomb.   Langohr [2009], 73    ' ..., une tombe voûtée en encorbellement, ...'

PERIOD (High Chronology)

1. Late Minoan IIIA: (1420 BC - 1330 BC)
    a.    Langohr [2009]: 73, ' ... une utilisation de cette tombe au cours de la phase MR IIIA ...'

2. Late Minoan IIIB: (1330 BC - 1200 BC)
    a.    Langohr [2009]: 73, ' ... et la date dès lors plus volontiers de la fin du MR IIIB ...'

NOTE

1. The date is a bit controversial. Langohr [2009] 73 goes on to give the opinion of L. Preston (see Langohr's bibliography, p. 297; Langohr may be referring to Laura Preston, 'A Mortuary Perspective on Political Changes in Late Minoan II-IIIB Crete' in American Journal of Archaeology (108:3), p. 342 (July, 2004)) who accepts a date of LM IIIA, perhaps even the beginning of this period..
