GENERAL SITE TYPE Tholos

TYPE

1. Tholos. BCH [2001], 986 ' ..., pourrait être une tombe à tholos.'

PERIOD (High Chronology)

1. Late Helladic: (1700 BC - 1050 BC)
a. BCH [2001]: 986, ?? ' ..., pourrait être une tombe à tholos.'

NOTE

1. Details about this supposed tholos are a bit hard to come by. The photograph shows a two peaked structure which suggests a tholos whose center has collapsed. One is reminded of the remarks in Messenia III about Kamari Gouva (C173) which was also thought to be a collapsed tholos: " ... [the traveler] sees on the w skyline what appear to be two artificial mounds quite close together."
