NOTE

1. The archaeological dig is plainly visible in the Google Earth image of September 30, 2014 for this area. It accords with the verbal description given in Garasanin [1964] 51, 'La colline où furent ramassés les tessons préhistoriques est située en bordure méridionale de la route d'Amphipolis à Cavala, au sud-sud-ouest du village actuel de Nea-Galepsos. Il s'agit d'une butte naturelle dont le sommet constitue un plateau de faible étendue et dont la pente sud est coupée de deux terrasses apparemment artificielles.'
