ARSANI - 2001

Arsani. N. Karamaliki (ΚΕ’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports the discovery of a Late Minoan IIIB chamber tomb. The chamber was irregularly shaped, with a niche in the south wall and a north entrance. It apparently had no dromos. It contained four larnakes – one on either side of the entrance, one in the middle of the chamber and one in the niche - with a collection of bones under the larnakes by the entrance. Twenty-four pots (mostly drinking vessels) were found either under or close to the larnakes. Three conical weights and a bronze dagger were also found.
