Abstract

The analysis of Middle and Late Bronze Age tombs provides important insights into the emergence of theMycenaean society and its later developments. The southwestern Peloponnese (Messenia and Triphylia) in particular,with its rich mortuary landscape, is suitable for studying the changes which occurred not only at the transition from theMiddle to the Late Bronze Age but also during the Mycenaean period. The purpose of this paper is to highlight thesechanges through the architecture of the tholos tombs as well as the burial gifts.
