PERIOD (High Chronology)

1. Middle Helladic: (2000 BC - 1600 BC)
    a.    Simpson [1981]: 25, 'MH? LH'
    b.    Ålin [1962]: 45, ' ... eine vormykenische ... Siedlung ... '
    c.    Simpson and Dickinson [1979]: 45, 'MH? LH'

2. Late Helladic: (1700 BC - 1050 BC)
    a.    Simpson [1981]: 25, 'MH? LH'
    b.    Ålin [1962]: 45, ' ... und mykenische Siedlung befinden.'
    c.    Simpson and Dickinson [1979]: 45, 'MH? LH'

NOTES

1.  Simpson [1981] 25 only says of this site that it is 'near Malandrini'.

2.  The original report appears to be Realencyclopädie, Supplement VI, 606.

3.  Some of our sources put this site on the north side of the Inachos Valley so perhaps it may be closer to some such point as 37.732367° N, 22.615863° E but the valley of the Inachos is long; it stretches all the way to Kaparelli on the W which is a straight-line distance, measuring from Malandreni, of about 13 km.
