Detailed 3D information on vulnerable archaeological sites can document cultural heritage and contribute to its preservation. The Late Bronze Age Mycenaean cemetery of Aidonia, Greece, is a representative case of a vulnerable site. Tomb looting has occurred sporadically since the 1970s, when the Greek government was made aware of the site. Anthropogenic activities and natural denudation may affect the loss of structural integrity of tombs. In this contribution, terrestrial laser scanning and geosciences are combined to document the vulnerable cemetery through the generation of a tomb catalogue. The emphasis is on techniques applied to point clouds to extract architectural elements. The catalogue consists of 208 architectural and geological measurements, 112 qualitative observations, maps, and point clouds images displaying the architecture of 16 tombs. The tombs are mainly orientated northeast-southwest and northwest-southeast, and their average total length is 13 m. The average volume of chambers with preserved roofs is 46 m3., Optical and Laser Remote Sensing

The significant volume of Late Helladic pottery from the chamber tombs at Prosymna, which has been difficult to work with as a comparative source due to the early publication date, is redated according to the current classification of Mycenaean pottery in order for it to be utilized by the modern scholar for comparative purposes as well as to provide a clearer chronological picture of the cemeteries and settlement. Based on the redated pottery, the tombs are re-examined. Tomb deposits are identified and chronological reconstructions of their use are presented. The pottery is discussed by period concentrating on the trends as regards shape, decoration and volume of ceramics, both decorated and undecorated. The cemeteries are examined in general, with concentration on their chronological use and in detail as regards the construction, utilization and abandonment of the tombs. An examination of individual constructional features suggests that in most cases, the features were inspired by geographical or traditional factors rather than chronological. The growth, change, and decline among the cemeteries throughout the Mycenaean period provide for the reconstruction of a settlement pattern, which suggests that the community at Prosymna began on a small scale in LH I, slowly expanded from both internal growth and immigration to reach a population height during the LH IIIA 2 period, and then rather quickly declined, with the site's abandonment by early in the IIIC period.
