NOTES

1. Niebieszczański's verbal description is correct but his coordinates are quite wrong.

2. The Mycenaean Atlas Project would like to thank Dr. Stratos Nanoglou of the University of Thessalonika for making available a copy of French [1967] which would have been otherwise difficult to obtain.
