Description
Vaskina (Socha). A. Karapanagiotou (Director, ΛΘ’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports the exposure of a previously unknown Mycenaean cemetery 10km northwest of Leonidio following heavy rain. Five cist tombs were excavated, all containing multiple burials (fig. 1). Grave goods, which include drinking vessels (fig. 2), stone spindle whorls and a bronze pin, date to the 14th century BC. Sherds scattered in the area may indicate Mycenaean settlement. The site is close to Kotroni, where two Mycenaean tholos tombs were excavated in 1936 and 1938.
