Armenoi (archaeological site)

Armenoi is the archaeological site of an ancient Minoan cemetery on the north coast of Crete, roughly 8 kilometres (5 miles) south of the modern town of Rethymnon and close to the Minoan peak sanctuary at Vrysinas. It dates primarily to the Late Minoan II/IIIA/B period (c. 1470–1200 BC) though a single tholos-type grave dates back to the Late Minoan IB period (c. 1625–1470 BC). Found in a tomb, a single stirrup jar with the Linear B inscription "wi-na-jo" suggests there was some Mycenae contact in the later period of occupation.
