ZIROS - Livari - 2010

Ziros, Livari. C. Sophianou (ΚΔ’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports the discovery of a tholos tomb of Mesara type. Unrobbed, but much disturbed, it is dated by the pottery contained to EM I–III/MM IA. Traces of burning on the bones are the result of localized attempts at fumigation inside the tomb. Other finds include items of jewellery in gold (one) and silver (five), bronze objects, stone and bone beads and parts of two terracotta figurines.

Nearby rock-shelters, contemporary with the tholos tomb, yielded human skeletal remains and finds including EM to early MM vases, stone beads and necklaces, bone seals, gold leaf, silver beads and bronze tools, plus Roman pottery and a complete lamp.
