NOTE
1. Cf. Emily Vermeule's 'New Mycenaean Discoveries in Western Greece' in American Journal of Archaeology (65), p. 193. "An entire Mycenaean provincial border kingdom was surveyed and partially excavated. The complex includes massive city walls, an ashlar propylon of unusual form, staircases and remains of private houses, a hilltop megaron-villa with painted plaster walls and floors, and a well-preserved tholos tomb in a neighboring hill."
