Chryssolakkos

Chryssolakkos (c. 3300–1100 BC) is an ancient Minoan necropolis near Malia on Crete, Greece. Its name means "pit of gold," referencing the rich burial goods found at the site. The complex yielded the famous Malia Pendant, now displayed at the Heraklion Archaeological Museum. It is also commonly thought that the Aegina Treasure of Minoan jewellery in the British Museum was excavated here by local people in the 19th century [1].
