Excavations revealed 2 tumuli of the LHIIIB-C and 13 LG/EA graves (8th-7th c. BC) Iin Ampelia near modern Rymnio. The graves are not fully published, neither the anthropological analysis. The EIA graves are similar to the LBA ones. They are inhumations in slab cists. Three were radially oriented pointing to the existence of a collective tumulus. No information is provided on the deceased. The grave goods include pottery (jugs, kantharoi, kyathoi), jewellery (bronze fibulae, bronze and gold earrings, bronze bracelets, necklaces, bronze, glass or amber beads, buttons and bronze pendants), iron knives. The exact continuity between the two clusters of graves is not well established but the continuity in funerary practices is worth noting.
