NOTES
1. For an accessible map of the Perati cemetery see Renfrew, Boyd, and Morley, Death Rituals, Social Order and the Archaeology of Immortality in the Ancient World: "Death Shall Have No Dominion", fig. 12.5, p. 194. Also Privitera [2013] 143, figs. 88-89.
2. Simpson [1981] 49 'B 30': "No Mycenaean settlement has yet been found near the tombs on the mainland, but there are traces of a road leading to the tombs ..., and these seem to suggest a site to the west of the tombs."
