    a.    Simpson and Lazenby [1973]: 154, ' ... a sherd of coarse ware, apparently prehistoric.'

    c.    Simpson and Hagel [2006]: 118, 'Laurenzi reported Mycenaean finds from Eremokastro ... '

NOTES

1.  Simpson [1981], 199, 'Kallithies: Eremokastro' is dubious about the Eremokastro claims of the earlier Italian researchers who have done so much fine work elsewhere on Rhodes.

2.  The reference of Simpson and Hagel [2006] 118 to 'Laurenzi' is to L. Laurenzi, Memoriae. Pubblicate a cura dell'Instituto Storico-Archeologico F.E.R.T. 2 (1938). I do not have access to this source.

3.  Asserted but not confirmed
