NOTES

1. An additional source is Wace and Thompson's Prehistoric Thessaly (1912) p. 8, no. 21.

2. The DEFC site lists 'Karagats Magoula' and 'Nechali' as alternative names for the site it names 'Omorphochori 1'. DEFC places Omorphochori 1 at 39.683333° N, 22.483333° E which is about 6.26 km. to the NW of where I have placed this marker. The location that I've chosen corresponds in every way to the description in Simpson [1965, 1981], and Simpson and Dickinson [1979].
