The destruction levels of Ugarit contained Late Helladic IIIB ware, but no LH IIIC (see Mycenaean Greece). Therefore, the date of the destruction is important for the dating of the LH IIIC phase.
Ugarit's destruction level indicated a presence of Late Helladic IIIB pottery but not LH IIIC artifacts. This suggests that the destruction event's date is essential for understanding the timeline of the LH IIIC period.
