Two Necropoleis have been located in association with the settlement. The first lies SE of the settlement, outside the fortified plateau in close distance to the coast, where the excavation (2011) revealed a LCl grave. The main Necropolis is situated NW of the ancient settlement along the coast of Xanemos bay. In 2013, two A child enchytrismoi (I & II) came to light, one of them probably dates to the A era. In the same area, a very important burial was detected in 2015. This was a cist adult grave in contracted position (III). The grave was furnished with finds dated to the early 10th century BC. The grave has been slightly disturbed by a child enchytrismos of the A period. NW of the grave the excavation in 2016 exposed two (possibly three) burials. Two graves (tomb IV & V) was disturbed but from the finds dated in LPG period (second half of the 10th c. BC). Another grave (VI) was found just a few meters south of the previous ones and at a greater depth. This is a shaft burial dated in 490-480 BC.
