NOTES
1. From the marker the cemetery expands to NW and SE. The marker itself picks out T. 2. See the useful map in Petropoulos [2004], p. 269, fig. 2. Giannopoulos [2008] 81, also says 'Die Kammergrabnekropole, ..., wird von dem Ausgräber M. Petropoulos mit dem Gräberfeld des mykenischen Helike identifiziert.' By 'Mycenaean Helike' he means C5006.

Giannopoulos refers to 'Nikoleika' but it is clearly the Kallithea-Lagades cemetery that he means.
