Based on a parallel from Eutresis and its 'hawksbill'overhang (Goldman) this sherd is possibly LH I. More generally it should be dated MH LH I. Cf. Davis 1979 fig 5.5.

Z 903

MIDDLE HELLADIC LATE HELLADIC 1 OPEN SHAPE

Rutter 1993 7.1 would put in late MH, but could go into LH I we don't have the contextual information to be precise here.

Z 904

MIDDLE HELLADIC - LATE HELLADIC I CLOSED SHAPE

There is a parallel in Mylonas - so likely MH rather than LH but type could continue.

Z 905

MIDDLE HELLADIC - LATE HELLADIC 1 OPEN SHAPE

Late MH to LH I. impossible to say more with no context.

Z 906

MIDDLE HELLADIC LATE HELLADIC I STRIAGHT SIDED CUP;

This could be as late as LH I.

Z 907

BASE OF MH/ LATE HELLADIC I OPEN SHAPE

Blegen Class 2 matt painted. Likely late MH or LH I due to shape.

Z 908

MIDDLE HELLADIC TO LATE HELLADIC 1 CUP/GOBLET

Parallels are MH but could be later, but cannot say without contextual information.

Z 909

MIDDLE HELLADIC/ LATE HELLADIC I JUG/JAR NECK

This is a Blegen Class 2 Matt Painted sherd. It could be as late as LH I, based on Davis 1979 parallels from Korakou.

Z 910

MH TO LH I JUG

Could be LH I as there is another example in the Davis Inventoried material from Korakou, but Dark on light non lustrous begins in late MH - cf. Kea V.

Z 911

MIDDLE HELLADIC - LATE HELLADIC I BODY SHERD, CLOSED SHAPE

MP wares like this are late MH to LH I. See Buck 1966, or Davis 1979.

Z 912

MIDDLE HELLADIC TO LATE HELLADIC I BODY SHERD

Blegen Class 2. Dated MH. Could go later as Davis 1979 indicates MPW does not finish in MH.

Z 913

MIDDLE HELLADIC TO LATE HELLADIC 1 BODY SHERD

Z 914

MIDDLE HELLADIC TO LATE HELLADIC I BODY SHERD

Blegen Class 2 Matt painted MH, could push later though.

Z 915

MIDDLE HELLADIC RIM HANDLED CUP HANDLE

An exact parallel from the North Cemetery suggests this is MH in date

Z 916

MIDDLE HELLADIC TO LATE HELLADIC I BODY SHERD

could be LH I

Z 917

MIDDLE HELLADIC TO LATE HELLADIC I BODY SHERD

Z 918

RIM OF MIDDLE HELLADIC/LATE HELLADIC I BASIN/KRATER

Parallels from Rutter 1993 but also Davis 1979. This is likely late MH but Matt Painted kraters continue into LH I.

Z 919

LATE HELLADIC I CLOSED SHAPE

Davis 1979. These Polychrome vesses are LH I.

Z 920

LATE HELLADIC I BODY SHERD

Originally dated MH in Zygouries, as Davis, 1979, points out the Mainland polychrome style is in fact almost diagnostic of LH I. Cf. Rutter 1989

Z 921

MH LH I BODY SHERD OF OPEN SHAPE

Blegen dates to MH in his Class III of Matt Painted Sherds. Bichrome pottery is (Mathioudaki 2014, Kramer 2004) a hallmark of the end of MH and LH I. in Absence of context it cannot be dated more precisely.

Z 922

LATE HELLADIC I MAINLAND POLYCHROME BODY SHERD

Davis 1979. Mainland Polychrome is diagnostic for LH I.

Z 923

MIDDLE HELLADIC TO LATE HELLADIC I BODY SHERD

Bichrome could be MH or LH, coarseness suggests MH. No contextual information so precision lacking.

Z 924

LATE HELLADIC I CLOSED SHAPE

Davis 1979 dates polychrome to LH I. See examples in Grave Circle A VI.

Z 925

LATE HELLADIC I CLOSED SHAPE BODY SHERD

Blegen dates this sherd MH based on MM III parallels. Redated here to LH I since it is clearly Mycenaean decorated. The unfilled circle motif according to Furumark 1941 fig. 57, only occurs in LH I, giving this as our date.

Z 926

LATE HELLADIC I - IIA BOWL

The shape, according to Mountjoy MDP is LH IIA, however the flaking paint, (Furumark p.13) and unslipped interior potentially suggest an LH I date.
