PERIOD (High Chronology)

1. Early Cycladic: (3200 BC - 1850 BC)
    a.    Soterakopoulos [2004]: 72, 'ΠΚ. MK (ύστερη). ΥΕΧ (I-IIIB2)'

2. Middle Bronze Age: (2100 BC - 1550 BC)
    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.
    b.    Koutsoukou [1992:1]: 95, ' ... the ceramic material of the site: Middle and Late Bronze age and Classical period.'

3. Middle Cycladic: (2000 BC - 1600 BC)
    a.    Soterakopoulos [2004]: 72, 'ΠΚ. MK (ύστερη). ΥΕΧ (I-IIIB2)'
    b.    Koutsoukou [1992:1]: 96, 'About half of the material belongs to the Middle and Late Cycladic II periods, ... '

4. Late Cycladic: (1700 BC - 1200 BC)
    a.    Koutsoukou [1992:1]: 98, ' .. satisfies many of the requirements for being identified with a Bronze age peak sanctuary, during its LC phase.'

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)'
    b.    Koutsoukou [1992:1]: 95, ' ... the ceramic material of the site: Middle and Late Bronze age and Classical period.'

7. Archaic: (700 BC - 480 BC)
    a.    Koutsoukou [1992:1]: 96, ' ..., while the rest [belong, rhc] to the Archaic and Classical periods.'
