Papadopoulos, Chair This research project examines the appearance and proliferation of some of the earliest cremation burials in Europe in the context of the prehistoric north Aegean. Using archaeological and osteological evidence from the region between the Pindos mountains and Evros river in northern Greece, this study examines the formation of death rituals, the role of landscape in the emergence of cemeteries, and expressions of social identities against the backdrop of diachronic change and synchronic variation. I draw on a rich and diverse record of mortuary practices to examine the co-existence of cremation and inhumation rites from the beginnings of farming in the Neolithic period

Interdisciplinary approach to implement digital techniques for 3D modelling, including 3D terrestrial laser scanning and image-based modelling. Implementation of virtual anastylosis by archaeologists using the 3D models and suitable software. Abstract: Archaeological restoration of monuments is a practice requiring extreme caution and thorough study. Proceeding to restoration or to reconstruction actions without detailed consultation and thought is normally avoided by archaeologists and conservation experts. Nowadays, anastylosis executed on the real object is generally prohibited. Contemporary technologies have provided archaeologists and other conservation experts with the tools to embark on virtual restorations or anastyloses, thus testing various alternatives without physical intervention on the monument itself. In this way, the values of the monuments are respected according to international conventions. In this paper, two examples of virtual archaeological anastyloses of two important Macedonian tombs in northern Greece are presented.

  • Funeral Monuments in Macedonia During the Archaic and Classical
    Funeral monuments in Macedonia during the Archaic and Classical periods. Afroditi Douitsi SCHOOL OF HUMANITIES A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Arts (MA) in the Classical Archaeology and the Ancient History of Macedonia January 2017 Thessaloniki – Greece Student Name: Afroditi Douitsi SID: 2204150011 Supervisor: Prof. Eleni Manakidou I hereby declare that the work submitted is mine and that where I have made use of another’s work, I have attributed the source(s) according to the Regulations set in the Student’s Handbook. January 2017 Thessaloniki - Greece Abstract This dissertation was written as part of the MA in in the Classical Archaeology and the Ancient History of Macedonia at the International Hellenic University. The boundaries of Macedonia were extending to the Pierian mountains, the Big Prespa lake and mountain Dysoron during the periods under consideration while the most known cemeteries in Macedonia were those of Aigai, Pella, Amphipolis, Pydna and Aiane. We could encounter grave types such as pit, cist, sarcophagi and jar burials while the basic burial practices were the inhumation and the cremation. Factors such as the origins of the inhabitants in the cities under examination or the gender and the social status of the deceased played major role to the style and the iconography of the funeral monuments respectively. The grave markers could be divided into figured representa- tions and architectural remains. In the first category the major part constitute the tomb- stones mainly subdivided in painted and relief grave “stelai”. A further categorization could be made according to typological elements such as the type of the crowning (pedimental, palmette), the framing of the shaft and the placement of the figure scene in a recessed panel.

    'Philip's Tomb' in Historical Context Hammond, N G L Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies; Jan 1, 1978; 19, 4; Periodicals Archive Online pg. 331 'Philip's Tomb' in Historical Context N. G. L. Hammond T WAS an act of generosity on the part of Professor M. Andronikos I to share the excitement of his discovery with the public and to announce his preliminary conclusions a fortnight or so after his entry into the unplundered tomb. The announcement which he made then in Thessaloniki was sufficiently precise and detailed to enable scholars to think about the identity of the tomb, and he has since then released a number of illustrations which give a good general idea of the main finds. While any assured and final opinions must be deferred until Andronikos has published his official report on his excavations­ a report which will be of an exemplary quality, if we may judge from his superb publication of the Cemetery of Tumuli at Vergina-it has seemed reasonable at this stage to put forward some reflections on the historical context within which this tomb has to be set.1 In an article of this length it is not possible to discuss the historical evidence in depth; for there is a great deal of it. I. Some General Considerations The literary tradition asserts that all Macedonian kings except Alexander the Great were buried at Aegeae. If, then, the unplundered tomb at Vergina is to be rated that of a Macedonian king, Vergina has to be the ancient Aegeae. I argued in 1968 that this was SO;2 and since then my view has been strengthened by the discovery of worship 1 The account which I have used mainly is that in Hellenikos Borras of 25 November 1977, which was kindly sent to me by Professor Vokotopoulos; other accounts which I have seen are in The New York Times Magazine of 25 December 1977, The Sunday Times Magazine of 5 February 1978, Makedonike Zoe no.91 and Epikaira both of December 1977, and the article in The National Geographic Magazine 154 Ouly 1978) 54-77 by M.

  • The Tomb of Olympias'
    THE TOMB OF OLYMPIAS' MACEDONICAIV2 (PLATE 3) Tr HE SITE of ancient Pydna on the west coast of the Thermaic Gulf seems never to have been precisely determined, and I am not aware of ,any serious discussion of the problem of the city's location since that of Leon Heuzey written in the fifties of the last century.3 It is quite certain, however, that Pydna was the first important city of the north of the Pierian Plain, today the plain of Katerini, for otherwise the town would not have given its name to the great battle between King Perseus and the Romans in 168 B.C.4 It is equally certain that Pydna was located directly on the coast.5 It is true that Diodorus (XIII, 49, 2) states that King Archelaus in 410 B.C. moved the city twenty stadia inland from the coast, but it is abundantly clear that the coastal site had been reoccupied by the fourth century, probably during the disturbed period after the assassination of Archelaus in 399.6 Archelaus' Pydna, or New Pydna as we may call it, is verv probably to be placed at, or near, the medieval and modern 1 I am very deeply indebted to Professor Benedict Einarson of the University of Chicago for suggestions and criticism. Professor Einarson is of course in no sense responsible for the argu- mentation and conclusions of this study. 2 The first two studies in this series have been published in Harvard Studies in Classical Phi- lology, LI, 1940, pp. 125-136.

  • The Bronze CALYX-Krater from the 'HEUZEY B' Tomb in Vergina
    STUDIES IN ANCIENT Art AND CIVILIZATION 19 Kraków 2015 Stella Drougou thessaloniki tHE BRoNZE calyx-KRAtER froM the ‘Heuzey B’ TOMB IN VerGINA (ANcieNT AiGAI) For my friend and colleague Professor Ε. Papuci-Władyka Abstract: The calyx-krater with masks of Maenads on the handles was found in the small built tomb ‘Heuzey B’ on the east side of the necropolis of ancient Aigai (Vergina). The tomb belongs to the burial group Heuzey and is dated to the last decades of the 4th century BC based on archaeological evidence. The new crater from Vergina (krater ‘Heuzey’) complements the small group of bronze krater of the second half of the 4th century BC, which served as the urn (Urne). It seems no coincidence that all of the examples come from Macedonia, as shown by the excavations (Vergina- Aigai, Pydna) or the comparative study (Athens, ex White Collection). Keywords: 4th century BC; metal work; bronze vases; Aigai-Vergina; Heuzey Prologue In 1998–1999, during the clearing of the remains of a Macedonian tomb in Palatitsia (first researched by L. Heuzey in 1856),1 two small burials were discovered at the eastern limits of the large cemetery of Aigai (Vergina), which are now known as ‘Heuzey A’ and ‘Heuzey B’. Unfortunately, ‘Heuzey A’ had been looted. ‘Heuzey B’, however, was of great interest, as all of its burial objects had been preserved. this fact, combined with the burial’s 1 See Heuzey and Daumet 1876, 226ff.

The main research questions answered in this study are: “What were the musicians of Classical Greece?” and “What were the most important musical instruments of Classical Greece?”. The study of the musicians of Classical Greece showed that the words “music” and “musician” are not entirely representative of the ones used in the antique context and therefore a clearer frame – in which we use these two terms for the purposes of a contemporary study – has to be given. There are a lot of limitations in the research of musicians in early and late antiquity due to the fragmentary sources and the absence of sufficient and reliable archaeological evidence. Musicians of Classical Greece were not considered only teachers, dancers, singers or instrument players but also individuals who were involved theoretically with music and were specialists. Before the 4th century BCE there is also a more detailed way in describing someone interfering with music whereas during the 4th century BCE the term mousikos appears.

  • A Large-Scale Magnetic Survey in Makrygialos (Pieria), Greece
    Archaeological Prospection, Vol. 4, 123±137 (1997) A Large-scale Magnetic Survey in Makrygialos (Pieria), Greece G. N. TSOKAS1,*, A. SARRIS2, M. PAPPA3, M. BESSIOS3, C. B. PAPAZACHOS4, P.

Box 352-1, Thessaloniki 54006, Greece; 2National Airforce Academy, Dekelia Airbase, Tatoi, Athens 10000, Greece; 3Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki, 6 Manolis Andronikos Street, Thessaloniki 54621, Greece; and 4Institute of Engineering Seismology and Earth- quake Engineering, P.O. Box 53, 55102 Finikas, Thessaloniki, Greece ABSTRACT A large-scale magnetic survey was conducted in the archaeological area of Makrygialos. The site was threatened due to the construction activities carried out in the area, as part of the national highway re-route project. Geophysical prospection contributed to the archaeological evaluation of the site, which was based mainly on the salvage excavations that took place prior to and after the geophysical survey. Magnetic prospecting was applied on a routine base, in order to cover a large area in a short period of time. Also, magnetic susceptibility was used to acquire detailed information of the stratigraphy of the ditches revealed by the excavations. The Le Borgne contrast was calculated and was used as an index of the magnitude of the magnetic anomalies. Geophysical data were processed by a number of filtering techniques, including the removal of regional trends and Hanning smoothing. Fourier transformation was applied and bandpass filtering procedure was based on the examination of the power spectrum of the data. In addition, two-dimensional inversion filtering was performed at specific parts of the data set, in an effort to rectify the significant geophysical anomalies of the site and obtain more information about their width and magnetization.
