I cannot believe to my eyes: apse-houses, stirrup-jars and ditch-grave all together! I knew in ancient Macedonia a fragment of a Linear B tablet was found, but never imagined such a plenty of Mycenaean finds. It was really a very good thing. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for your comment.Yes, they named the place the "New Amphipolis' because of the importance of the findings.
