NOTE
1. Gastria-Alaas is located about 3 km. from Gastria (Kalecik) and about 600 m. from the ocean. I have placed the marker notionally using those parameters. The principal investigator was V. Karageorghis who carried out a series of excavations in the 1971-4 time-frame. A complete list of his reports on Alaas can be found in Keswani [2012] on p. 326.
