PERIOD (High Chronology)

1. Late Minoan III: (1420 BC - 1075 BC)
    a.    Wace and Thompson [1912]: 207, 'Late Minoan III'

2. LH IIIA1: (1410 BC - 1375 BC)
    a.    Simpson [1981]: 168, ' ... the high-handled cup with stipple pattern can now be definitely classed as LH IIIA1.'

3. LH IIIB: (1320 BC - 1190 BC)
    a.    Ålin [1962]: 139, 'Beide sind in IIIB zu datieren.'
    b.    Simpson [1981]: 168, 'They were classed as LH IIIB [by Desborough (1964) 133], ... '
    c.    Desborough [1964/2007]: 133, 'For LH. III, there are III B (or C) vases from Gonnos, ... '

4. LH IIIC: (1190 BC - 1060 BC)
    a.    Desborough [1964/2007]: 133, 'For LH. III, there are III B (or C) vases from Gonnos, ... '

NOTES

1. Ålin [1962] says '2 Vasen' but Wace and Thompson [1912] 207 mention three and show them in Fig. 143. Ålin appears to have known the first and third in that photograph.

2. Tempi/Tembi, renamed from Bampa/Baba in 1927 is the intended site. See this. Simpson [1981] 167-8, 'H34 Gonnos', thinks that the three vases in question actually originated in Gonnos (C1264). 'There seems indeed little doubt that the vases are in fact from Gonnos, although they may have been brought to Baba subsequently.
