NOTES
1. Simpson [1981] 188 suggests that material from the LHIII A-C has been found here ("Some Mycenaean material has also been found.") but Vlachopoulos and Georgiadis [2011] 343 (here), based on their own study of the material, say "Recent study of the Bronze Age ceramic material from Kastro, Paroikia did not produce any Mycenaean finds, disproving that Paros' historical capital was the major diachronical center of the island."
2. Additional bibliography from the Aristeia Project page, 'Ag. Konstantinos hill', is online here. I modified their suggested position.
