GENERAL SITE TYPE hab

TYPE

1.    Building.   Panagiotakis [2003], 409    'Une partie du site aurait été identifiée par Platon, une construction y a été explorée par la suite.'
2.    Building.   Kanta [1980], 74    'A big rectangular building nearby was tested and produced a number of LM I sherds ...'
3.    hab.   Panagiotakis [2003], 409    'Habitat'
4.    Tomb.   Eaby [2007], 130    'In addition, Platon dug an empty, stone-lined cist tomb somewhere near the village in 1956, beside which was found a large LM I rectangular building.'

PERIOD (High Chronology)

1. Middle Minoan III: (1750 BC - 1675 BC)
    a.    Panagiotakis [2003]: 409, '[MM III - MR I]'

2. Late Minoan I: (1675 BC - 1470 BC)
    a.    Panagiotakis [2003]: 409, '[MM III - MR I]'
    b.    Kanta [1980]: 74, ' ... a number of LM I sherds ... '
    c.    Eaby [2007]: 130, ' ..., beside which was found a large LM I rectangular building.'

NOTE

1. I am assuming here that the building referred to by Panagiotakis and by Kanta is the same building.
