Geometric-era tomb unearthed on Aegean island of Lesvos

An intact tomb of a woman dated to the 8th century BC was unearthed on Friday on the island of Lesvos during construction work by local authorities on a sewage line and waste water treatment plant.

The tomb is made of slate and has yielded five cups, exquisite gold and copper jewelry and a pin made of bone.
