PERIOD (High Chronology)

1. Bronze Age: (3200 BC - 1050 BC)
    a.    Ålin [1962]: 58, ' ... "helladische" ... '
    b.    Simpson and Dickinson [1979]: 66, 'BA sherds were noted ... '
    c.    Morgan [1999]: 474, ' ... (pottery BA, possibly LH).'

2. Late Helladic: (1700 BC - 1050 BC)
    a.    Simpson [1981]: 37, 'LH?'
    b.    Simpson and Dickinson [1979]: 66, 'LH? A C H'

NOTE

1. I relied here on Ålin's use of the word 'Friedhofshöhe' to give this site a location. I assume that Simpson's [1981] 37 (A 77A) mention of 'Ayia Paraskeui' is just this church.
