NOTE
1. Additional: Spyropoulos, Th.G. 1982. "Στενό Αρκαδίας," ArchDelt 37 Chronika: 120-121. Kayafa [1999] 203, n. 202 says that neither site (Steno or Ayiorgitica(C7297)) have been adequately documented. It is very tempting to deal with these sites together as they both appear to be metalworking sites of about the same period although not much is established about either. Kayafa continues: 'The EH date of Steno has been strongly doubted. For example, Muhly (1991,184) believes that it is much later (Hellenistic), while Papastamataki (1985,59) reports that Steno should not even be regarded as a metallurgical site since no slags were found associated with the furnaces'
