The overall timespan from stages (i) to (v) at Akrotiri is considered relatively brief (between months, a season, to a few/several years).

“but the overall timespan, stages (i) to (v), is variously considered relatively brief (between months, a season, to a few/several years) [3,17,46,48,49,51,104,105].”

Both archaeology and 14C place the close of LMIB destructions in the mid-15th century BCE.

“Both archaeology and 14 C place these close of LMIB destructions in the mid-15 th century BCE [3,5,8,9,18,25].”

The total timespan between stages (ii)/(iii) to (v) at Akrotiri on Thera represents a relatively short period of time, with estimates varying from weeks/months/season(s) up to a period of several years.

“Archaeological and geological observations propose that the total timespan between stages (ii)/(iii) to (v) at Akrotiri on Thera represents a relatively short period of time (see above).Estimates vary from a timespan of weeks/months/season(s) [3,17,46,48,49,51,104] up to”

There is increasing evidence for devastating Thera tsunami impacts in the Aegean.

“increasing evidence for devastating Thera tsunami impacts in the Aegean [3, 45, 52-54, 56, 73]”

The long-term systemic impacts of the evisceration of Thera will have significantly impacted the whole area and necessarily led to substantial reconfiguration of regional networks and histories.

“the long-term systemic impacts of the evisceration of Thera, and what had been a major port and hub in the Aegean region until that time, will have significantly impacted the whole area, and necessarily led to substantial reconfiguration of regional networks and histories [3,17,202]”
