3. LH IIIB: (1320 BC - 1190 BC)
    a.    Georgiadis [2003]: 38, 'At Trapezies Paraelis remains of the tombs, used from LH IIIA2 to LH IIIC, ... '

NOTES

1. Dietz [1984] 67 says ' ... to the West (NW) of Apollakia, south of the river,...' but this is hard to accept because there is no trapeza to the NW between Apollakia and the river.

2. For a list of finds from Trapezies Paraelis see Georgiadis [2003] 188-9.
