NOTE
1. In the BCH, no. 152 (http://chronique.efa.gr/index.php/fiches/voir/152/): 'On a ainsi constaté que sur le site d'Alikanas-Akrotiri ou Alykès, au Nord-Est de l'île, où S. Benton avait fouillé dans les années 1930 une tholos mycénienne, des travaux récents (terrassement, plantation d'oliviers) ont fait disparaître tous les vestiges antiques.'
