    b.    Renfrew [2011]: 11553, 'They have resemblances with forms of the Amorgos group of the Keros-Syros culture, ... '

NOTES

1. The position of the 'well-like structure' is not known to me. This position is a place-holder merely.

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