NOTE
1. The location of this site is given as 'Lakkomos/Lakkos' which is to the NE of the town of Priolithos. The site itself is 300 m E of the National Highway. A photograph in Alexopoulou [2009] 257/135 shows the area Lakkomos/Lakkos from the W side of the national road and facing E. The site I have chosen lies along the sight-line of the Alexopoulou photo and obeys the constraints of 300 m E of the road and just to the E of the bank of the Erasinos / Vouraikos (a small and intermittent brook).
