TYPE

1.    Chamber Tomb.   Rutter [1975], 376    '...these fragments do not prove that Tomb XII was in fact a finished and used chamber tomb, although they now make that a possibility.'
2.    Chamber Tomb.   Immerwahr [1971], 196    'In the spring of 1952 a small chamber tomb was discovered about sixty meters due south of Tomb VII, ...'
3.    Tomb.   Mountjoy [1995], 17    'Sherds from three LHIIA vases have recently been published from Tomb 12.'

PERIOD (High Chronology)

1. LH IIA: (1635 BC - 1470 BC)
    a.    Mountjoy [1995]: 17, 'Sherds from three LHIIA vases have recently been published from Tomb 12.'
    b.    Rutter [1975]: 376, 'The chief interest of the three vases lies in their date, for the bridge-spouted jug no. 2 unquestionably belongs to the Late Helladic IIA period and the other two vases may be equally early.'

2. LH IIIA: (1410 BC - 1315 BC)
    a.    Immerwahr [1971]: 197, 'Date of tomb probably Late Helladic III A; deposit, Myc. III C:1.'
