Display of the photogrammetric digitization of the interior of Carved Tomb 159 located in the Late Minoan Cemetery of Armenoi, Rethymnon.

Tomb 159 that is the largest tomb in the cemetery dates to the LMIIIA2-B1 period (1385-1240 BC). The entrance passage has a staircase of twenty four (24) descending steps while the traces of bronze chisels are still visible on its walls. The closing slab that blocked the monumental entrance of the chamber was found in the entrance passage, as this tomb had also been looted during the use of the cemetery and its opening had been re-closed with stones. Outriggers, which probably supported semi-columns of perishable material, can be discerned on either side of the entrance, externally and internally. The chamber, also of monumental size, has a rectangular ground plan. In the middle of the western side there is a relief column, while a low bench runs around the sides of the chamber. Despite the looting, the tomb yielded rich finds. Three clay chests were found broken and scattered, an anthropomorphic (human-shaped) and an animal-shaped figurine, bronze objects, a gold earring in the shape of a leaf, clay vessels of various types such as stirrup jars, goblets (kylixes), a kalathos, a cup and an incense burner. A niche containing human bones was discovered on the western side, while traces of burnt material mixed with fragments of vessels were found on the southern side.
