    Descriptive fields: ID: unique sequential integer that identifies each entry in the dataset. Site: name of the site. Since the transcription of Greek names varies across languages or ancient site names are used (e.g. Tsoutsouros, Tsoutsouro, ancient Inatos), we chose the most frequently occurring variant in the bibliography. Naming alternatives are given in the column Notes. Location accuracy: Whether the exact location of the site or architectonic structure is known (Y) or not (N). Literary sources: If sites are mentioned in literary sources dating to historical range under study, these are marked Y otherwise N. Coordinates are reported in decimal degrees relative to WGS84 system (fields Latitude and Longitude). Min_date: Earliest possible date Max_date: Latest possible date. Site type: all site types documented in one location are named. Settlement - Village, habitation area, or any evidence of human activity in landscape if no other specifying factor was present. City - Urban centre with administrative responsibilities. Usually sites mentioned by written sources, or sites described in publications as city/town, or sites with city features (forum, regular grid of streets and plots).

Church - Excavated and preserved ecclesiastical building (chapel, basilica, or any other type of church). Monastery - Excavated or preserved monastic features, or monastery mentioned in written sources. Coin - Arabic coins were mentioned because they are often the only evidence of land use during the monitored period.

Bibliography 2: Publication where the bibliography relevant to the site is mentioned. Doi: Publication DOI, if available. Notes: Other information.
