PERIOD (High Chronology)

a. Broodbank [2000]: 327, ' ...; to date the only known large MBA settlement is at Plaka, but a hill-top shrine at Mazareko in the north-west (Koutsoukou 1993: 102-3) may suggest another centre in this part of the island.' It's not quite clear what B. is saying here. He seems to imply that the Mazareko site is MB also.

5. Late Cycladic II: (1625 BC - 1420 BC)
a. Koutsoukou [1992:1]: 96, 'About half of the material belongs to the Middle and Late Cycladic II periods, ... '
6. Late Bronze Age: (1570 BC - 1200 BC)
a. Soterakopoulos [2004]: 72, 'ΠΚ. MK (ύστερη). ΥΕΧ (I-IIIB2)'
