GENERAL SITE TYPE Settlement

TYPE

1.    Building.   Hood and Warren [1966], 182    ' ... are traces of a substantial building which might have been the house of a local ruler or a shrine.'
2.    Settlement.   Hood and Warren [1966], 182    'Extensive Minoan settlement ... '
3.    Sherds.   Hood and Warren [1966], 182    'All Minoan, but mostly much worn and indeterminate.'

PERIOD (High Chronology)

1. Middle Minoan II: (1850 BC - 1750 BC)
    a.    Hood and Warren [1966]: 182, 'The general impression given: M.M. II/III - L.M. I, but ... '

2. Middle Minoan III: (1750 BC - 1675 BC)
    a.    Hood and Warren [1966]: 182, 'The general impression given: M.M. II/III - L.M. I, but ... '

3. Late Minoan I: (1675 BC - 1470 BC)
    a.    Hood and Warren [1966]: 182, 'The general impression given: M.M. II/III - L.M. I, but ... '

4. Late Minoan III: (1420 BC - 1075 BC)
    a.    Hood and Warren [1966]: 182, ' ..., but occupation may have continued into L.M. III.'

NOTE

1. Hood and Warren's (pg. 182, n. 66) azimuth lines converge here. It appears to satisfy Hood's criteria but it is on the other side of the main highway from what is shown on the map. To which I add that since that time the highways have changed and the site is, indeed, N of a local road.
