Tomb 19

location chamber tomb 19 chamber tomb 19

Chamber tomb 19, used in the 14th-13th century BC, has a 7 m long dromos and a nicely worked stomion. Although in a crowded area of the cemetery there is no interference with neighboring tombs 2 and 3. The interior of the 3 x 4 m burial chamber of tomb 19 has something like an apse on the northern side.

The ceiling of chamber tomb number 20 had collapsed already in ancient times and thus evaded the grave robbery. There was a primary burial of the 14th-13th century BC as well as a secondary burial at a depth of 3 m.

Chamber tomb 'GK' lies way off to the north. It was excavated in 2002. A huge boulder lies above the entrance. The chamber of tomb 'GK' not only presents several pits but also niches in the walls that were used for burials or grave goods. However, the results of the excavation by the Greek Archaeological Service have still not been published.
