Das mittelbronzezeitliche Schachtgrab von Ägina
The island of Aegina in the center of the Saronic Golf payed for a long time a significant role in the exchange network of the Aegean. The shaft grave came to light in 1982 during sytematic excavations in the fortified settlement on Cape Kolonna. The rich furniture, the tomb’s architecture and the topographcal location give evidence for the importance of the settlement in Middle Bronze II. Comparable elite burials are known from the Greek mainland and the islands. The analysis of the mortuary practices open new views on social structures, economic exchange and the establishment of a ruling class.
