NOTES

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

2.  The position of Karvounolakkoi is variously given. It is on the N end of Kaladou Bay in Wong [2020] Fig. 1 here ( 36.934753° N, 25.465741° E). Computing it from Renfrew's zero position at Phylakopi on Melos puts it at 36.943187° N, 25.454058° E. I have adopted Doumas' [1977] position (p. 13, Fig. 2, no. 41) which is on the S end of Kaladou Bay here: 36.927572° N, 25.458280° E. None of these is likely to be very accurate.
