Report
Mageira, Olympia. G. Hatzi (Director, Ζ’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports the discovery of four Mycenaean chamber tombs following the extensive fires of 2007-2008. These contained rich grave goods, including large two- and four-handled amphorae, beads of glass paste, gold and faience, spindle whorls, and two beads in the shape of human figures from a necklace.
Excavation by O. Vikatou in 2009-2010 revealed two elite chamber tombs of Mycenaean warriors with, in addition to pottery, a pair of bronze greaves, bronze swords, and valuable offerings of gold, semi-precious stones and other materials.
