Abstract

Five Late Minoan tombs have been excavated at Sellopoulo, near Knossos. Much the richest of these, excavated in 1967 by M. R. Popham, was the unpillaged Tomb 4, whose three burials were accompanied by a rich array of gold and other jewellery, bronze vessels and weapons, and pottery. This pottery established the date of the burials within the Late Minoan II-early IIIA phase. Furthermore, the tomb contained a scarab of Amenophis III, whose reign extended from c 1420 to 1385 B.C., according to the high Egyptian chronology, c 1405–1375/70 B.C. according to the low chronology.
