310 horizon debatable when Knossian administration of the island ended: early 14th century (LMIIA2) or early 13th (early LMIIIB)
311 At least two major destructions are attested in the palace at Knossos in the 14th and 13th centuries, but it is assumed that the horizon in which the majority of the preserved archives were burnt marks the final collapse of Knossos' political control over much of the island.
312 not yet clear whether Knossos' political domination on Crete in LM II-IIIA2 early was an entirely new phenomenon, or the continuation of a system that had already existed in the Neopalatial period. certain elements undoubtedly new. settlement destruction and possibly even marked depopulation across the island at end of LMIB, recovery swiftest at Knossos, but the elite had to reconsolidate its authority
314 certain amount of continuity from Neopalatial period. Old palatial centers incorporated into an administrative network of second-order centers subordinate to Knossos
315 LMII-LMIIIA other sites more subdued but Knossos flourishes, mainland influence in fresco imagery alongside Minoan traditions; innovative burial practices, lots of warrior symbolism, along with Linear B tablets with lists of chariots, etc.
316 mainland influences on fine ware ceramics
LMIIIA2 increase in ostentation at second-order centers, increase in regionalism, decrease in ostentation at Knossos
317 cemetery at Phournoi, LMIIIA2 horse and bull sacrifice found with one burial. Horse looks more mainland than Minoan
318 LMIIIB decline everywhere except at Chania, which sees some resurgence. Chania only known Linear B archive from LMIIIB
end of LMIIIB, depopulation and destruction everywhere, new sites established in defensible locations
