NOTE

1. Placed notionally based on the description in Simpson [1981], 167, 'H 28 Bara'. ' ... a considerable Mycenaean settlement, ..., was located on slopes near a copious spring about 2 km. southeast of the mound of Marmariani (H 27)...'. In this atlas Marmariani is C1292. The structure on which I have placed the marker (probably a farm) seems to correspond most closely to Simpson's description.
