PERIOD (High Chronology)

1. Keros-Syros: (2600 BC - 2200 BC)
    a.    Ivanova [2008]: 276, 'Both settlements (Kavos and Daskaleio) date to the KS, ... ' <==> 'Beide Siedlungen (Kavos und Daskaleio) datieren in KS, ... '

    a.    Ivanova [2008]: 276, 'Chronologie - Kastri -Phase (ca. 2500-2200 v. Chr.).'

NOTES

1. The Kastri culture is a Cycladic culture which is thought to follow on the Keros-Syros culture although, by others, to be a late phase of the Keros-Syros. For more see the discussion in Rutter here under "Kastri Group" or "Lefkandii" Culture/Early Cycladic IIB OR IIIA (ca. 2450/2400-2200/2150 B.C.)'

2. Dhaskaleio is, in some works, grouped with the island of Keros to which it was perhaps connected by a land bridge during the BA, e.g. Doumas [1977] 26 under 'Keros'. Ivanova [2008] 276 suggests the landbridge ('Landbrücke').
