PERIOD (High Chronology)

1. Late Helladic: (1700 BC - 1050 BC)
    a.    Giannopoulos [2008]: 34, '...späthelladisches...'
    b.    ERGON[2001]: 45,

2. LH IIIA: (1410 BC - 1315 BC)
    a.    Papadopoulos [1979]: 25, 'LHIIIA (?)'

3. LH IIIB: (1320 BC - 1190 BC)
    a.    Papadopoulos [1979]: 25, 'LHIIIA(?), IIIB - C'

4. LH IIIC: (1190 BC - 1060 BC)
    a.    Papadopoulos [1979]: 25, 'LHIIIA(?), IIIB - C'
    b.    Giannopoulos [2008]: 45, '...der Phase SH IIIC (SH IIIC Mitte - IIIC Spät) zu datieren.'

NOTE

1. Papadopoulos [1979] 25,'4. Pournari' says that it is about 5 km. from Kareika (F810). The marker is just short of 5 km. from Kareika in a straight line. The location is not known to me nor can I find out where the field of Christos Zapheiropoulos is. I have marked the error as 500 m.
