GENERAL SITE TYPE  Sherds

TYPE

1.    Pottery.   Morgan [1999], 403    ' ... produced (mainly late) Archaic pottery.'


PERIOD (High Chronology)

1. Geometric: (900 BC - 700 BC)
    a.    Morgan [1999]: 403, 'The only possible (but questionable) indication of Geometric activity here comes ... from Mallota Kokkaliara slighty to the north (by the 5km marker on the Megalopolis-Tripolis road), ... '

2. Archaic: (700 BC - 480 BC)
    a.    Morgan [1999]: 403, ' ..., a site which has otherwise produced (mainly late) Archaic pottery.'

NOTE

1.  The position of the 5 km marker on the Megalopolis-Tripolis road is anybody's guess. I have used the position from Parker's [2008] database (Site 53) which is as good as any and it appears to me as though Parker may have just measured off 5 km. from the center of Megalopolis.
