VEROIA - 2006

Veroia. I. Graikos (ΙΖ' ΕΠΚΑ) reports on the discovery of 2 clusters of graves dating from the L5th−L4th Ct BC during road-works at the S entrance of the anc. city. The older (L5th−M4th Ct) contains 10 pit graves and the later (M−L4th Ct) 11. All but one had wooden covers and all contained individual burials. The earlier group was oriented N−S and the later E−W. Pottery from the earlier group, notably bg skyphoi and exaleiptra, is closely related to Attic, whereas that from the later is closer to Hel. An individual burial of the M2nd Ct BC reused an earlier pit. The article assembles evidence for the topography of the cemeteries of Veroia (cf. AR 28 [1981−1982], 39−40 for previous finds in this area).
