NOTES

1.  'Half a kilometer to the E/NE of Paralimni Pyrgos site, against the foothills of Kandeli Height, Early Bronze Age tombs of Cycladic type (known in Euboea and at Lithares in Boeotia) are reported in AD 24 (1969): 174-5. They would have been connected to a settlement site nearby, but it is not certain that this was the EH site (component AN_27) at Paralimni Pyrgos (see tombs and settlement at Lithares - chapter II.3.12) Farinetti '9. Paralimni Pyrgos E: Component AN_38', pg. 7 in Appendix I.13 "The Boeotian coastal area facing the Euboean sea N of Chalkis: ANTHEDONIA and SKROPONERI bay.'
