NOTE

1. It is a little difficult to tell from Simpson's drawings. According to him (Simpson and Lazenby [1973], 152, 'Archangelos: Mala and Petrokopio') "The tombs were at the steep hills on the south side of the Archangelos plain, in fields near the Petrokopio quarries." I make the Petrokopio Quarries to be at F2018. For photographs see Georgiadis [2003] 293-4, Figs. 5.50 - 5.52.
