Dear Dr Dubey, Many thanks - especially the second reference is very useful!
If you are prepared to look as far as Turkey, the following references sent to me by Professor Brian Rose may be helpful:
"The Granicus River Valley Archaeological Survey Project, 2004-2005," Studia Troica 17 (2007). 65-150. Philipp von Zabern.
"The Tombs of the Granicus River Valley," in: The Achaemenid Impact on Local Populations and Cultures in Anatolia (6th-4th Centuries B.C.). Papers presented at the International Workshop, Istanbul 20-21 May 2005 (2007). O. Casabonne, I. Delemen, S. Karagoz, and O. Tekin (eds.); 247-264.
For more information on your subject, go to the DAI website (http://opac.dainst.org), click on Zenon (their bibliographic database), and then "Granicus" as a search word. That will give you the full bibliography.
