PERIOD (High Chronology)

1. LH IIIB: (1320 BC - 1190 BC)
    a.    AA [1938]: 558,
    b.    Simpson and Dickinson [1979]: 53, 'LH IIIB'
    c.    Simpson [1981]: 29, ' ... attributable to the LH IIIB period.'

NOTE

1. To place this spot I placed a marker at 37.675960, 23.129994 and then drew a circle with that as the center that was 500 m. in diameter. Again from the same mark I drew a straight line at 112.5 degrees. The location point was placed at the intersection of the straight line and the circle. To get the Error radius I drew a circle from the established point until it touched the road. This is because Simpson [1981] 29 'A 32', says ' ... on a slope on the south side of the road'.
