Description
Agios Nikitas. A Myc tholos tomb was discovered and partially destroyed in the course of work to widen the road from Ag. Nikitas towards the crossroads of Kathisma, in an area where Myc activity has not previously been attested. Rescue excavation by the ΛΣτ' ΕΠΚΑ (under its Director, M. Stavropoulou-Gatsi) followed.
The tholos was small (2.3m in diameter, 1.9m preserved height), and built with irregular series of local fieldstones. It contained many burials with grave offerings (illustrated) including handmade and wheelmade pottery (the latter mostly small vases as alabastra and prochoiskoi), 2 steatite sealstones, beads of different materials, spindle whorls, a bronze leaf-shaped point and clay spindle-whorls.The tombs was used in the LH IIIA and LH IIIB periods.
