Summary

The shaft graves of mycenae, like the tholoi and the large chamber tombs of this period, have produced a considerable quantity of metalwork in gold, silver, or bronze, from weapons to jewellery and vessels. In this respect Grave Circles A and B can be compared to the great treasures of the Balkan Chalcolithic (the Varna cemetery: Ivanov 1978) or the Anatolian Early Bronze Age (Troy: Tolstikov and Treister 1996). Decorative styles are as varied as the forms that are found.
