Archaeologists working at a dig near Sparta, in the southeastern Peloponnese, announced the discovery of a Mycenaean-era palatial complex dating to the 17th and 16th century BC.
Another highlight was the discovery of several tablets that feature writings in Linear B.
According to a Greek culture ministry press release on Tuesday, the site is located near the ancient settlement of Xyrokambi. The complex features a large square and decorated with frescoes.
Structures appeared to have been destroyed by fire, according to researchers. Archaeologists believe a fire destroyed several of the buildings.

The site extends over three and a half hectares centered around the Aghios Vassilios Hill on the Sparta plain. Excavation works began in 2009.
Discovered Linear B tablets and seals were constructed of unbaked clay, and apparently show commercial transactions, temple offerings, first names and names of sites.
