Копилка уникальных находок Греции на днях в очередной разreplenished. On the island of Lesbos accidentally managed to find ancient burial. It is already clear that his age exceeds 3000 years old and dating back to 1400 – 1100 BC. Grave was lined with stones and refers to the Mycenaean period. Unexpected discovery made on Thursday in the east of Lesbos during the planned work for improvement of the rural road Deepi – Papados – Plomari.
After this, the work of archaeologists began, which in a short time managed to find a lot of interesting things. They unearthed a skeleton that several centuries rested on his back in a compressed position. Around him burial gifts lay, including a spherical deep cup, gray clay jug, bronze knife and bronze ring. Who owns the burial – while an open question.
Accidental discovery in the administration of the island was called important for the history of Lesbos and especially for the region of Gera, in which remains. This is another step towards the development of tourism and understanding of the past. Lesbos Archaeologists have yet to study the object in more detail, and also explore the surrounding area – probably new discoveries not have to wait long.
