 | Dendrochronology and Dendrochronologically related 14C dates for timbers from the construction of Phases 3 and 2 require a reassessment of many of these dates since the construction of Phase 3 must be set around 1080 BC and that of Phase 2 around 1070 BC. |
 | The presence of many fragments of a PG amphora below the Phase 2 floor indicates that the start date of PG for the whole of southern Greece must be set before 1070 BC, perhaps by as many as fifty years. |
 | The provisional date obtained in the same way for the construction of Phase 7 is circa 1270 BC and timbers from Phase 9 await analysis. |
