PERIOD (High Chronology)

    a.    Simpson and Dickinson [1979]: 366, ' ..., a thin scatter of EB I sherds ... '

NOTE

1. Simpson and Dickinson [1979] 366 describe the site as 'On the saddle between Vayi and Agrelidhi Bays, ... '. Simpson and Lazenby [1973] 167 describe it like this: 'On the saddle between Vayi and Agrelidhi Bays, ... ' and 'The area covered is about 90 m. east-west by 50 m., and is mainly to south of the road, at the foot of the limestone hill on the south.' My marker is placed south of the road and at the foot of a (limestone?) hill but it acts more as a reminder than a real location marker.
