Also known as: LC IIIB
Final Late Cypriot phase and earliest Iron Age restructuring, with altered settlement, mortuary, ceramic, and metallurgical practices.
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.
1125 BCE–1050 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.
