NOTE

1. Identified first(?) by A. Hunter. Simpson and Dickinson [1979] 297 mention Hunter"s The Bronze Age in Thessaly and its Environs, with Special Reference to Mycenaean Culture, 1953 as a source for this mound. This document is not available to me. This mound appears to have then been investigated by D.H. French and the apparent source for this is D.H. and E.B. French, Prehistoric Sites in Thessaly, 1960. The manuscript is in library of the British School at Athens. Any further investigation needs to start with these two documents and the current marker should be considered a placeholder.
