2. Morgan [1999] 470, '11 Ancient Corinth 2)' says "A report that a few Mycenaean sherds were found in the excavation of the Temple of Apollo is denied by Weinberg ... See, however, Robinson ... ; Robinson suggests that MH and LH material may have been removed when the temple was constructed." The reference to Weinberg is to S. Weinberg, 'Remains from Prehistoric Corinth' Hesperia (17), 487-524, esp. pp. 489-492. The reference to Robinson is: H. Robinson, 'Excavations at Corinth: Temple Hill, 1968-1972', Hesperia (45), 203-239, esp. pg. 211, note 25, C-71-331.
