Major problems, because of which the following chronologies deviate, are e.g. the chronology of the end of the Stone Age. The important and only major Cretan Neolithic settlement on the Kephala Hill was largely destroyed by the overbuilding with the palaces of Knossos. Determining the Old and Middle Stone Ages is even more difficult, but has no bearing on later chronologies.
Another problem is the geographically different assignment of artifacts to time periods, for example, due to the different rates of spread of cultural achievements. Archaeologists often prefer to use relative chronologies (such as Middle Minoan IIA) to date their finds rather than absolute year numbers for the very reason of the disputed or unresolved absolute chronology.
For the sake of completeness, we prefix the list with the chronology of the Stone Age on Crete.
