Since the first excavations in the cemetery of tumuli in Vergina during the 1950s, new discoveries and different works led in Northern Greece have yielded important new data, updating our vision on the Early Iron Age burial customs. The burial mound, which is a specific feature of this region, isn’t the only known type of cemetery. Data analysis depicts a rich and eclectic representation of the burial practices in this vast area between the Balkans and the Aegean Sea. Based on a catalogue of cemeteries dated from the 11th to the 7th centuries B.C., located between the eastern slopes of the Pindus range and the south-western Rhodopes, this book offers a survey of the burial customs and questions the diversity that is particularly striking in this region. As a result, this study proposes a complex funerary map. It will be compared to the map of the funerary ideologies conveyed by the burial gifts whose geographical distribution is different.
