NOTE

1. The precise location of Rachi-Pournari is unknown to me and this marker is merely a place-holder. In the Atlas there are currently three points around the town of Manesi, C5787 which is Manesi (Rachi-Pournari) and consists of artifacts presumptively from a tomb; C519 Manesi (Vromoneri) which consists of chamber tombs S of the town; and C662 which is Manesi proper and consists of some chamber tombs. Clearly this area was the site of relatively extensive My. cemeteries and a habitation which may be under the current town.
