Dendra, Bronze Age archaeological site near Manesis village, Greece.
The Dendra cemetery contains a tholos tomb, three burial mounds, and sixteen chamber tombs in the Argolid region of Peloponnese.
Swedish archaeologist Axel W. Persson excavated numerous unplundered Mycenaean chamber tombs at Dendra between 1926 and 1927, revealing ancient burial practices.
The archaeological site yielded the complete Dendra bronze armor from 1400 BCE, now exhibited at the Archaeological Museum of Nafplio.
The archaeological site stands 6 kilometers east of Argos city and connects to the ancient settlement of Midea through a network of paths.
Chamber tombs at Dendra contained sacrificed horses buried alongside their owners, indicating the high status of the deceased in Mycenaean society.
