NOTE

1. The town of Mourties/Myrties is at F3699. The site where these sherds was found is described as:

" ... in the vicinity of Myrties, on the N side of the Misipetri mountain." (Simpson and Dickinson [1979] 169, 'G 94 ... ')
" ... south of Mourties, about a kilometre north-west of Stefaniou, in fields above the spring." (Sackett et al. [1966] 46, '18a. Dhafni: Stefaniou.'

In light of these two constraints I have placed the marker at the N foot of Misipetri, about a kilometer from Mourties, and above a source that is shown on Topoguide.
