Cypro-Geometric III through 800 BCE
Also known as: CG III, early Cypro-Archaic transition
Later Cypro-Geometric phase marked by expanding rural sanctuary evidence and emerging historically visible political centres, without projecting their later borders backward.
Review and provenance
Specialist reviewer: not recorded. Review date: not recorded.
Dataset workflow: proposed. This is separate from specialist review.
Confidence describes the stated assessment; it does not certify expert approval. How review works.
Chronology
Dating intervals may describe uncertainty or phases; their width alone does not establish event duration.
900 BCE–800 BCE
Precision: approximate
Chronology model: Meyer–Knapp / Knapp comparative phase model
moderateConventional broad phase range used for package navigation; local assemblages can cross these boundaries.

850 BCE–800 BCE
Precision: truncated range
Chronology model: Cypro-Geometric III truncated to package endpoint
highOnly the portion through approximately 800 BCE is included; the full phase extends beyond the package endpoint in some schemes.

Research description
Later Cypro-Geometric phase marked by expanding rural sanctuary evidence and emerging historically visible political centres, without projecting their later borders backward. Alternative ceramic and absolute chronologies are represented as separate date assertions rather than collapsed into one fixed range.
