PERIOD (High Chronology)

1. EH II: (2700 BC - 2200 BC)
    a.    Simpson [1981]: 33, ' ... include an EH II cemetery reported near the Corinth Canal ... '
    b.    Simpson and Dickinson [1979]: 61, 'An EH II cemetery is reported near the Corinth Canal, ... '

NOTE

1. Simpson [1981]33, 'A 52 Modern Corinth' shows the site of the EHII cemetery on map A about where I placed it. There are still many open areas along this coast and since it is impossible to be certain I put the error radius at 500 m.
