Özet
Eastern Thrace has a long tradition of burials under tumuli, resulting today in a high density of burial mounds. This tradition, which started ca. 1200 BC and lasted down to the 3rd century AD, began with the migration of Thracian tribes, introducing two new burial types: dolmens and stone-piled tumuli, already well-known in Western and Central Thrace. These tomb types were used until the 7th century BC and then slowly replaced by new types which became prominent in the 4th century BC: the so-called Macedonian and tholos/beehive tombs. Beside those two main funerary structures under tumuli, other types of burials can be found in the mounds, such as pit graves, sarcophagi and tile graves (tomba a cap-puccina). © 2016 Walter de Gruyter GmbH, Berlin/Boston.
