In this paper we present a methodology to create multilingual thesauri of period names building on top of CIDOC specifications, archeological theory and results from Computer Science and Knowledge Representation. Periods are defined by different criteria based on the archaeological contexts (such as ceramics style, enabling technology etc.), rather than by time and place, which are regarded only as approximations of the spatiotemporal extent of a period. Identity criteria are distinguished from
