NOTES

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

2.  A full catalogue of the finds is in Doumas [1977] 100-120.

3.  This position is based on the verbal description in Doumas [1977] 100 'd. Ayioi Anargyroi'. "This cemetery extended immediately west of a rocky eminence and about fifty metres east of a deep ravine." Placement attempts to match these features but it is unlikely to be correct and the reader will want to exercise caution.
