This is the largest excavated cemetery of the Late Minoan III A-B Period (1400-1200 BC), which is spread over a low hill at the location of Prinokefalo. The existence of the archaeological site was revealed in 1965, when at Somata primary school, a twelve-year-old student was holding a vase and playing with it. His teacher saw it, understood that it was a find of great archaeological value and asked where he found it. They then notified the Archaeological Service of Rethymno and the student and his father delivered the findings to the Archaeological Museum of Rethymno. All the tombs, with the exception of one brick vault, belong to the subterranean type, carved chambered with a corridor, which was accessed by steps or a ramp.Each grave most likely represented a family group. The variety of finds that were placed as offerings to those buried in the Armenian cemetery is abundant, not to mention the cases of open graves.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-43173e0 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"43173e0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInLeft&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.21.0 - 08-05-2024 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1281\" src=\"https:\/\/wellness-kastellos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/nekrotafeio-culture-wellness-kastellos.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-11477\" alt=\"nekrotafeio-culture-wellness-kastellos\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wellness-kastellos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/nekrotafeio-culture-wellness-kastellos.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/wellness-kastellos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/nekrotafeio-culture-wellness-kastellos-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wellness-kastellos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/nekrotafeio-culture-wellness-kastellos-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wellness-kastellos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/nekrotafeio-culture-wellness-kastellos-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wellness-kastellos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/nekrotafeio-culture-wellness-kastellos-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wellness-kastellos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/nekrotafeio-culture-wellness-kastellos-1199x800.jpg 1199w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3c5f7e0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3c5f7e0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe area was inhabited for the first time by Armenian soldiers who came with Nikephoros Phokas to liberate Crete (961 A.D.).
