GENERAL SITE TYPE Chamber Tomb
TYPE
1. Chamber Tomb. Vlasaki [1991], 492 'La tombe à chambre la plus éloignée vers le Sud a été découverte en 1983, ...'PERIOD (High Chronology)
1. Late Minoan III: (1420 BC - 1075 BC)
a. Vlasaki [1991]: 489, Implied, p. 489: '..., les tombes MR III ...'
NOTES
1. Placement based on the map in Vlasaki [1991], 488, fig. 1, no. 6.
2. Notable for the discovery here of a larnax, the only one known in the various necropolises in Chania, decorated with stylized octopi. If I'm reading Dr. Vlasaki correctly this was a true bathtub used as a sarcophagus. A picture may be found in Vlasaki [1991] here.
