NOTE

1.  Previous to the 1955 discovery Mycenaean tombs had already been found in the area. As the BCH [1956] 295 says "Il y a quelques années, presque au mème endroit, lors de la construction de l'usine de ciment, des tombes mycéniennes avaient déjà été découvertes. Il s'agit probablement de la nécropole mycénienne de l'ancienne Aulis."
