NOTE

1. See DM13, p. 87 for info on the location of Yeroskipou. 1. DM13, p. 87: "The settlement is archaeologically attested throughout antiquity but its most prosperous phase is believed to have been the Late Bronze Age, represented by a series of outstandingly rich tombs, containing a lot of gold jewellery and exotic items such as vessels of faience, and scarabs and seals made of precious (for that time) stones, such as ophite and picrolite. The tombs of the Hellenistic period are equally rich, containing precious objects, large numbers of bronze and glass vessels, and a huge variety of pottery types, including the finest example of Magenta Ware so far found on the island." 2.
