PERIOD (High Chronology)

1. EH II: (2700 BC - 2200 BC)
    a.    Simpson [1981]: 32, 'EH II LH H'
    b.    Foley [1988]: 181, 'EHII LH ... '

2. Late Helladic: (1700 BC - 1050 BC)
    a.    Simpson [1981]: 32, 'EH II LH H'
    b.    Foley [1988]: 181, 'EHII LH ... '
    c.    AD[1997]: 104,

NOTE

1. Simpson [1981], 32 gives little information about the location of this site. I have placed it in the saddle on the east end of Dokos because that's where there was a settlement and where large quantities of sherds have been found. I have given this marker a radius of 100 m. which would cover most of the west side of this saddle.
