GREECE PELOPONNESE KORINTHIA AIDONIA

Tomb 11

Chamber tomb number 11 with its 8 m long dromos, the doorway and holes in the walls of the thalamos.

There are also holes connecting tomb 11 to number 10 so that in the end there are three tombs in this ensemble. - In the burial chamber of tomb 11 with a length of 4.50 m and a width of 3 m were bones and high-quality pottery on the floor as well as bones from earlier burials put aside.

Something hanging from the ceiling, which turns out to be a root, just like from sidewalls. And there is a nail in the wall probably left by the looters to hang up a lamp for their nighttime activities.

Tomb 12

Unique in the Mycenaean cemetery of Aidonia - tomb 12 is the only shaft grave, situated between the dromoi of chamber tombs 10 and 11. The 5.25 m deep vertical shaft is closed off by a metal grating. The unplundered grave produced a headless skeleton of a horse sacrifice, several human remains and precious offerings showing that it was the tomb of a wealthy family, used from the 15th to the 13th century BC.
