NOTES

1.  Interesting pictures of the Kastelli site are here: https://www.cretanbeaches.com/en/history-of-crete/archaeological-sites-in-crete/minoan-times-palaces-and-sites/minoan-settlement-of-kastelli

2.  'Wikimapia lists this area as 'Archäologische Stätte'. Panagiotakis [2003] 401 says ' ..., près de l'école et du cimetière ; ...' which may put his intended position closer to 35.205592 N, 25.340348 E. Dr. Sheppard Baird puts a marker labelled 'Kastelli - Pediada' quite close to the position I have chosen here.'
