GENERAL SITE TYPE Tholos

TYPE

1. Tholos. Girella [2011], 125 'Tholos B, which is half preserved, is located 200 metres ca. north-east of Tholos A ... '

2.    Tomb.   Goodison and Guarita [2005], 171    'The Mesara-type tombs are circular stone-built structures a number of which show traces of an original corbelled 'tholos' roof.'

PERIOD (High Chronology)

1. Early Minoan IIA: (2650 BC - 2450 BC)

    a.    Girella and Caloi (eds.) [2019]: 554, ' ..., dipinta di nero e leggermente steccata a lucideo ..., che si data all'AM IIA.'

2. Middle Minoan IA: (2100 BC - 1925 BC)

    a.    Girella and Caloi (eds.) [2019]: 554, ' ..., appartengono a due skoutelia databili al MM IA ... '

3. Middle Minoan II: (1850 BC - 1750 BC)

    a.    Goodison and Guarita [2005]: 185, 'Dating: MMII-III.'

    b.    Girella [2011]: 134, 'Between MM II and III is logical to assume the enlargement of the architectural complex of Tholos A according to the expansion of burials. Probably in this period one has to put the construction of Tholos B and C.'

    a.    Girella and Caloi (eds.) [2019]: 555, ' ..., con due possibili frammenti che potrebbero collocarsi tra il MM IIA e il MM IIB ... '

    a.    Girella and Caloi (eds.) [2019]: 549, ' ..., furono rivenuti una mezza pinzetta in bronzo e vari materiali ceramici appartenenti prevalentemente al MM IIB ... e MM III.'

    b.    Girella and Caloi (eds.) [2019]: 554, 'La maggior parte del materiale ceramico databile al periodo protopalaziale della Tholos B si data al MM IIB ... '

    c.    Girella and Caloi (eds.) [2019]: 556, 'Le quantitá di materiale databile al MM IIB rinvenuto nella Tholos B fanno pensare che la tomba sia stata fondata in questa fase, ... '

    d.    Girella and Caloi (eds.) [2019]: 555, 'I 33 pezzi diagnostici del MM IIB ... '

6. Middle Minoan III: (1750 BC - 1675 BC)

    a.    Goodison and Guarita [2005]: 185, 'Dating: MMII-III.'

    b.    Girella and Caloi (eds.) [2019]: 549, ' ..., furono rivenuti una mezza pinzetta in bronzo e vari materiali ceramici appartenenti prevalentemente al MM IIB ... e MM III.'

    c.    Girella and Caloi (eds.) [2019]: 554, ' ... e qualche vaso integro del MM III) ... '

    d.    Girella and Caloi (eds.) [2019]: 554, 'Si riconoscevano subito materiali in prevalenza MM III, ...

    e.    Girella [2011]: 134, 'Between MM II and III is logical to assume the enlargement of the architectural complex of Tholos A according to the expansion of burials. Probably in this period one has to put the construction of Tholos B and C.'

7. Late Minoan I: (1675 BC - 1470 BC)

    a.    Girella and Caloi (eds.) [2019]: 549, ' ... e qualche frammento di skouteli del TM I, ... '
