2. James Whitley, in the article 'Archaeology in Greece 2002-2003' (Archaeological Reports (49), 36) says: "Rescue excavations at Kostoureika and Keramidia. John Ellis Jones reports on two summer 2002 study seasons at Olympia Museum, completing the study of the Hel and Rom period finds from the BSA rescue excavations of 1969. The EH material will be studied by Dr Ourania Kouka."
3. Dr. Miriam Ervin (Ervin [1968], 272) briefly mentions the plan of the British School at Athens with respect to the Peneios rescue operations of 1968. The original goal appears to have been to investigate an Hellenistic farmhouse at Kostoureika.
