NOTES

1. Relevant Aristeia Project page is here.

2. The Aristeia Project map for this site gives 41.185402, 24.083161 as the position. This hardly matches their verbal description (same page) which says "A tumulus cemetery came to light in the Industrial zone of Drama in the lowland (S of the country road Drama-Prosotsani)." The position given here for C7349 matches the verbal constraints which puts it more than 3 km. to the S of the location given on the map. Prosotsani is at F6681.
