    a.    Karantzali [1996]: 31, 'Les tombes du cimetière de Panagia datent du CA I et CA I-tardif ("groupe de Pélos" et "groupe de Plastiras").'

2. Grotta-Pelos: (3000 BC - 2600 BC)
    a.    Renfrew [2011]: 11329, 'Cemetery of the Grotta-Pelos culture ... '
    b.    Simpson and Dickinson [1979]: 321, 'GP'

NOTES

1. The position used here for Panaghia was computed by working from the position of Pyrgos (C6950), which is known. Renfrew [2011] gives the position of Pyrgos as 630, 290. Likewise the position for Panaghia given by him is 620, 305. Renfrew has used positions based on the 1:50,000, AEGEAN Series maps issued by the Geographical Section, General Staff, no. 4468. These were issued in 1944 and were not available to me. The reference system is, however, easy to understand. The coordinates are meter offsets from some origin in lon/lat form. For example the position of the Panaghia site relative to Pyrgos (as I said, this position is known) is 1000 m. W and 1500 m. N. This should be sufficient to give the position of Panaghia to within 100 m.

2. Page numbers in Renfrew [2011] are, in actuality, location numbers in the electronic edition, ISBN 978-1-78570-773-5.
