1 Watrous 1992: 61-102 (Deposits 79-98 dated to LM IIIB; Deposits 63-78 dated to LM IIIA2-B); Rutter 2006a: 540-576 (Groups 59-79 dated to LM IIIB). Rutter 2006a: 590-598, table 3.96 provides a listing of the floor deposits and major fills thus far excavated at Kommos that are considered by me to date to LM IIIB. Of the 12 ‘deposits’ from the Hilltop, six ‘deposits’ from the Central Hillside, and two ‘deposits’ and two ‘groups’ from the Southern Area listed, only two ‘groups’ were excavated between 1991 and 1995 and were therefore among those that I personally sorted, recorded, and analysed. Several of the ‘deposits’ dated by Watrous to LM IIIA (e.g. Watrous 1992: Deposits 39, 40, 41, 47, 58) were re-dated by me to LM IIIB. as were several others initially published as LM IIIA2-B (e.g. Watrous 1992: Deposits 75, 76, 77, 78). Of the 21 LM IIIB ‘groups’ included in Rutter 2006a, only 12 were excavated during the period 1991-95 (Rutter 2006a: Groups 66-77).

2 Group 67a consists of 4240 sherds weighing almost 96 kg; Group 76 includes just 682 sherds weighing 8.295 kg, Group 77 1610 sherds weighing 24.39 kg. Other late LM IIIB deposits discussed above such as Groups 67b (317 sherds weighing 8.4 kg) and 79 (627 sherds weighing 12.36 kg) contain far less closely datable material.

5 At Khania, decorated basins with a plastic ridge below the rim are attested only in LM IIIB2 (Hallager & Hallager 2003: 46, 73- P0164, 223, pls 63, 93f: 1) and, with purely linear ornament, LM IIIC strata (Hallager & Hallager 2000: 85, 77-P1360, 156, pls 49, 71d: 2). The shallower, conical version without such a ridge, however, seems not to exist at that site.

7 The petrographic analysis of TSJ fabrics reported by Peter Day in Haskell et alii 2011: 41-78 comprises 24 total fabrics and 195 total samples. But fabric 18 (Haskell et alii 2011: 69-70) is represented by only two samples taken from the same short-necked amphora (Haskell et alii 2011: 84), so should not be considered a TSJ fabric on the basis of presently available evidence. The fabric in question is clearly the same as that of five of the nine LM IIIB SNA’s sampled by Day in 1998 and attributed to a source in the foothills of the Asterousia Mountains to the south and east of Kommos (Day et alii 2011: 523 [fabric B], 544, 547, fig. 10).

8 Five of the six Khaniote imports identified from LM IIIA2 contexts by Watrous (1992: 152; all except no. 822) have been redated to LM IIIB, principally as a result of the redating of the contexts in which these vessels were found. Aside from the cups, kylikes, fine stirrup jars, and deep bowls previously cited above in notes 3 and 4, LM IIIB Khaniote imports to Kommos include four TSJ’s (Watrous 1992: 53, no. 923, fig. 35, pl. 21; 82, no. 1408, pl. 36; 87, nos 1516, 1518, fig. 57, pls 35-36) and a fine patterned rim-handled amphora (Watrous 1992: 52, no. 910, fig. 37, pl. 21). Three of the four presently recognised LM IIIA2 imports from Khania are TSJ’s from House X. A further four Khaniote imports have since been identified in LM II-IIIA2 Early contexts, three of those likewise from House X.

9 Aside from the cups, kylikes, and fine stirrup jars cited above in notes 3 and 4, LM IIIB Knossian imports to Kommos include a patterned amphoriskos (Watrous 1992: 79-80, no. 1372, fig. 51, pl. 34) and a patterned ring vase (Watrous 1992: 80, no. 1373, pl. 34). Knossian imports in the preceding LM II-IIIA2 Early phases number roughly 40.

10 The fabric identified as fabric la by Eleni Nodarou among the TSJ’s imported to the Southern Levant (Ben Shlomo et alii 2011: 339-346, table 1, fig. 6a-b) is effectively the same fabric as that numbered 9 by Peter Day in Haskell et alii 2011: 54-56 and designated G in Day et alii 2011: 528, n. 64.
