Lerna

The archaeological excavations at Lerna contain numerous building foundations, pottery remains, and ancient artifacts spread across multiple settlement layers spanning several millennia.

During the Early Helladic II period around 2700-2200 BCE, Lerna flourished with fortified walls, defensive towers, and the construction of a monumental building.

The site features the House of Tiles, a two-story administrative structure that provided evidence of an early urban system through clay seals from storage containers.

The archaeological site stands at 29 meters above sea level near the current village of Myloi, accessible through the Argos-Mykines municipality road network.

Archaeologists discovered more than 150 clay seals with approximately 60 different seal impressions, indicating an advanced administrative system in the Early Bronze Age.
