Abstract: In 2002 and 2003 the 4th Ephorate of Prehistoric and Classical Antiquities
and the Nemea Valley Archaeological Project (NVAP) excavated a robbed
Late Helladic (LH) IIIA2 chamber tomb at Barnavos, west of the village
of Ancient Nemea. Through application of a novel method of stratigraphic
analysis and careful documentation of the scattered remains, it was ascertained
that the tomb was opened as many as six times for four or five interments,
including a child and probably both male and female adults. No other
tomb was found in the vicinity. This is the first Mycenaean tomb discovered
in the valley, and it belongs to the settlement at Tsoungiza.
