Mycenae Grave Circle 'A'

This is a quick over-view of the shaft grave enclosure known today as 'Grave Circle A' at the citadel of Mycenae. It was discovered by Heinrich Schliemann in the 19th century and yielded a number of remarkable grave goods such as the so-called 'Mask of Agamemnon'. It was in use around 1600 BC but was later incorporated within the walls built around 300-350 years later. This is of particular interest to students taking Unit CC1 (Entry Code F381) Archaeology of the Classical World in OCRs AS-Level Classical Civilization course.
