Mycenaean cemetery revealed after heavy rains by davidmorgan on Thursday, 22 September 2011
(User Info | Send a Message)
Five box-shaped Mycenaean era tombs were unearthed in Soha, near Vaskina village, some ten kilometers north-west of Leonidio, by recent heavy rainfall. The most impressive of the funerary gifts found in the graves were several clay sympotic vases.

According to archaeologists, the finds dating back to the 14th century BC.

A recovery excavation was conducted by the 38th Ephorate of Prehistoric and Classical Antiquities.
