GENERAL SITE TYPE Artifacts
TYPE
1. Artifacts. Sjögren [2003], 124 'A small jug and an iron fibula may have come from a tomb.'2. Artifacts. CrChr [1960], 525 'Other geometric objects came to light in Nipiditos (Pediada), such as a small three-lobed jar (prochous), iron clasp (porpe) and two sherds.'

NOTES
1. I cannot match this unlocatable site to anything in Panagiotakis' [2003] p. 409 extensive catalogue for Nipiditos.
2. This marker is a kind of catch-all for artifacts that originate in Nipidhitos but from locations not precisely known.
