NOTES
1. Simpson and Dickinson [1979] 324 allude to Bent: " ...; it might have been the richer of Bent's two cemeteries, ... ". Bent's article is 'Researches Among the Cyclades', Journal of Hellenic Studies (5), pp. 42-59. 1884, esp. p. 49. The other cemetery is Krassedes (C7134).
Bent says "In the graves in the cemetery to the south-east of the island, I found only one body in each, they were considerably larger and better built; some of them had graves beneath, and in every case a slab or pillow on which the head was rested." Find it here. Another candidate for this 'richer' graveyard is C7135 in this atlas. The poorer graveyard (see C7134 in this atlas) is described at the same website on pp. 47-8.
