TYPE
1. Building. Souyoudzoglou-Haywood [1999], 95 'The foundations of a Greek tower of ashlar masonry, known as the 'School of Homer', were investigated by Schliemann, Vollgraff and Kyparisses. In 1930. C. R. Watson and later S. Benton carried out excavations at the site on behalf of the British School at Athens.'
PERIOD (High Chronology)
NOTES1. For a sketch map of this area which shows the positions of Ayios Athanasios as well as the 'School of Homer' see Heurtley [1934] 2, Fig. 2.
2. The 'School of Homer' is a post-BA Greek tower. The Haghios Athanasios site is by it. The so-called 'Spring Chamber' is about 200 m. down the hill at C611.
3. There is some doubt about the exact connections of this specific site with the Mycenaeans
