The associated tombs, found in the form of ossuaries, throw new light on the burial customs and religious ideas of the Early Bronze Age. A potter's shop contains more than 1,330 vases dating to ca. 1300 B.C. and other exciting finds include a Cycladic figure providing evidence of commerce between the islands and the mainland in the 3rd millennium B.C. | Area: | | Zygouries | References: | | Objects (238)
