PERIOD (High Chronology)

1. EH: (3100 BC - 2000 BC)
    a.    Ålin [1962]: 43, 'EIne Versuchsgrabung in der letzteren zeigte Besiedlung in FH, MH und SH Zeit ...'
    b.    Simpson [1981]: 25, '...to have produced Early, Middle, and Late Helladic finds ...'

2. Middle Helladic: (2000 BC - 1600 BC)
    a.    Bintliff [1977]: 331,

NOTE

1. Bintliff [1977] 332 says that this site '...lies only a kilometre or so to the south (of Melichi, C980, RHC), right on the lower edge of modern Schoinochori village. Again, the Schoinochori site - on a large hill called locally 'stou nika tis elies', ..., and is a Neogen mass surrounded by hard limestone. Though it possesses steep sides that are not too fertile, the upper parts of the hill are terraced and deep soiled, and the top of the hill is a very extensive and remarkably level plateau, the only such good farming zone in the whole of this hill group.'
