Mycenaean Cemetery of Voudeni

The Mycenaean cemetery of Voudeni along with the Mycenaean settlement at the locality of Bortzi, comprise the Patras Mycenaean Park, located near the settlement of Voudeni of the Municipality of Patras in Western Greece [1]. The archaeological site of a total area of 180 acres is located at an altitude of 220 meters, 7 kilometers northeast of Patras [1]. It includes 78 carved tombs and the ruins of a prehistoric settlement, possibly identified with that of ancient Mesatis [1]. Most of the explored graves were carved in circular, square, horseshoe or quadrilateral form with a dome, of varying dimensions often housing multiple burials [1]. All of the tombs revealed objects of everyday life, such as vases, jewellery, tools, weapons and utensils [1].
