NOTES

1. The IGEAN lists these three mounds, and another, Nessonis 4, on its web site

Nesson 1 39° 42' 52.2756" N, 22° 31' 9.7788" E Here.
Nesson 2 39° 43' 8.3856" N, 22° 31' 11.1684" E Here.
Nesson 3 39° 43' 31.7532" N, 22° 31' 39.2088" E Here.
Nesson 4 39° 42' 59.1768" N, 22° 31' 5.3076" E Here.

2. For more on the Neolithic and Early Bronze site of Nessonis see BCH (82) 753 (Not 953 as Simpson and Dickinson would have it) [1958] which is online here.

3. I have chosen IGEAN's Nesson 1 to represent the whole and set the accuracy to 'E'.
