New perspectives on the burial customs in Macedonia during the Early Iron Age

Résumé

Since the first excavations in the Early Iron Age cemetery at Vergina during the 1950s, the new discoveries and different works in Macedonia yielded important data, allowing us to update our vision of the burial customs in this area at these times. Large and small tumuli, flat organised burial grounds, pit and cist graves, enchytrismoi and cinerary urns, chamber and tholos-like graves, inhumation and cremation coexist in this wide area, depicting a rich and eclectic range of burial practices. Each cemetery is characterized by a specific set of features, which reflects the choices offered or accepted by the community for the treatment of its dead. After defining those combinations, it is then possible to analyse their geographical distribution and to discuss the variety of these burial customs in the complexe societies who lived between the Balkans and the Aegean Sea.
