Mycenaean tomb discovered in Amfissa (Watch video)

Large amount of skeletal material was found without any specific order on the walls of the burial chamber

A one of a kind unique find and one of a few in Central Greece, the vaulted Mycenaean tomb was discovered in a short distance from Amfissa, under the supervision of excavation project “irrigation project grove of Amfissa, PE Fokida”.

The preliminary study of the findings shows that the tomb was used for more than two centuries, from the 13th to the 11th century B.C.

Large amount of skeletal material was found without any specific order on the walls of the burial chamber.

Equally important are the findings of forty-four vases with painted decoration, two bronze vessels which are fragmentary as well as gold rings, brass buttons, semiprecious stones, two bronze daggers, female and animal figurines, a large number of seals with animal prints and plant and linear patterns.
