NOTES

1. Positioned by following the directions in French [1967] 36. The point in the 'present village' from which he measures is 40.773759° N, 22.582676° E. It is almost exactly 1000 m from the toumba to the bridge to the NE and not 800 as French would have it.

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.
