General view of the archaeological site
Acropolis of ancient Elateia and Mycenaen cemetery of chamber tombs on its west slopes (used between 14th century BC and Protogeometric period; acme after 1200 BC). The archaeological evidence provided by the excavation of the cemetery attests the expansion of Mycenaean civilization in the periphery and its survival after the decline of the great Mycenaean centers.
