NOTE
1. In Messenia I, 250: "A total of nine certain and at least four probable chamber tombs is evidence for a sizable settlement. The habitation area most likely included the top of Ayios Konstantinos and Rachi Papalia immediately east of it across the highway." For Ayios Konstantinos see C358 and the church at F207; for the chamber tombs see C137 and the fine diagram on p. 249 of Messenia I.
