longitude? edit

longitude in History, paragraph 1 contradicts that in the 2 coordinate buttons. Per google earth button value looks better.Benjamin Trovato (talk) 19:25, 26 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

The coordinates under the map are from Peacock & Peacock 2008 who write: "The site is centred on 22°19′51″N, 36°29′25″E and occupies a low gravel ridge by the seashore, rising to about 7.5 m above sea-level. It is about 100 m across and 1500 m long, striking northwest to south-east. The main settlement is concentrated in about 7.5 hectares in the central part of the area, with cemeteries, cisterns and other structures to the north-west and south-east."
