PERIOD (High Chronology)
1. Late Minoan III: (1420 BC - 1075 BC)
a. Langohr [2009]: 141, ' ...; il s'agit probablement de céramique MR III ... '
2. Late Minoan IIIA: (1420 BC - 1330 BC)
a. Pelon [1998]: 134, 'Datation : MR IIIA-B'
b. Kanta [1997]: 234, ' ... was established as LM IIIA/B.'
3. Late Minoan IIIB: (1330 BC - 1200 BC)
a. Pelon [1998]: 134, 'Datation : MR IIIA-B'
b. Kanta [1997]: 234, ' ... was established as LM IIIA/B.'
NOTE
1. This is unlikely to be the correct position or anywhere near it. I (rhc) only know of its correct location in relation to the tomb at Aigidomandra. Aigidomandra (C6045) is about 4 km. to SW of Apodoulos (F2571). Psila Chomata is 300 m to SE of that. But within these parameters there is wide latitude for error. The placement is, therefore, notional and the accuracy is set to 'unknown'.
