Description
Orraon. The ΛΓ’ ΕΠΚΑ reports that rescue excavation in the city cemetery following the forest fire of 2007 revealed 27 Hellenistic tombs and three burial receptacles of local limestone, several of which has been robbed. Characteristic features include the iron spear heads and knives offered as grave goods in many tombs, and the popular Macedonian custom of displacing the bones and offerings from the previous burial into a trench outside the tomb, where traces of a pyre and animal bones were also found.
