Lefkandi Heroon(?)

tomb · 1900 AD – 1999 AD

Rescue excavations in 1980 documented the remains of an unusual funerary structure dated ca. 1000 to 950 BCE that contained a double human burial alongside a horse burial. The structure's scale (50 by 13.8 m) and nature have led some scholars to identify it as a heroon.
