PERIOD (High Chronology)

1. Late Helladic: (1700 BC - 1050 BC)
    a.    Simpson [1981]: 37, 'He also found Mycenaean and later traces on the west side of Dyovouna, ... '
    b.    Ålin [1962]: 58, 'An der Westseite konnte Gebauer späthelladische ... Siedlungsreste feststellen. '
    c.    Morgan [1999]: 474, 'LH and other sherds have also been found ... '

2. LH III: (1410 BC - 1060 BC)
    a.    AA [1939]: 271,

3. Geometric: (900 BC - 700 BC)
    a.    AA [1939]: 271,

NOTE

1. Morgan [1999] 474: "Ålin (1962, p. 58) distinguishes these scatters as three separate sites, but it is unclear whether the traces represent more than one settlement." Ålin [1962] 58 does separate these out into Dyovouna ('Siedlungsreste')(C958), Alamanu ('Spuren bronzezeitlicher Besiedlung') (C959), and Ajios Nikolaos ('Siedlungsspuren')(C957). The sites average about 2 km distance from each other so Ålin's interpretation is not improbable.
