LAZARIDES Aigina Portes - 2007

N. Polychronakou-Sgouritsa (Athens) reports on continuing work within the Myc settlement and cemetery. In addition to the 3 Myc tombs already excavated in 1979-80, 2 more were located at a small distance to the S. One, within the mod. village cemetery, was used as an ossuary, while part of the dromos of the other, with stone-clad walls, was uncovered. Investigation of the latter tomb will be undertaken in 2008.
Continuing study of finds from the area has revealed new MH−LH material, as well as material of the end of LH IIIB/LHIIIC. Examination of 3 iron artefacts in the archaeometry laboratory of NCSR Democritos shows them to be anc. and made in different technical traditions: they must be added to the very few examples from the Aegean which predate the 11th Ct BC.
