I've been searching for a while now re. discovery of hundred of graves at Archontiko just outside of Pella, but can't seem to find any official reports/publications.There's been a few reports in 'Kathimerini' regarding the finds, but thats about it.Sounds like this could be even bigger news than the Virgina find. So far they've identified 396 tombs from the seventh century BC to the early third century BC with over 5000 objects recovered.Very exciting , wish I was there!
I would appreciate if anyone could lead me to any further info re. the finds.
Cheers!
Archontiko anyone?

Re: Archontiko anyone?
Thanks for posting these, I've not heard of them before. I've had a good search on the internet but can't find any more - maybe you could e-mail the excavators.
It will be interesting to read more about the 150-line inscription of the dispute, as witnessed by Philip's brother, as this may give evidence on some of the questions about the languages spoken then. RegardsSusan

Hi Susan,
I've sent an email to the 17th Ephorate of Prehistoric and Classical Antiquities with the hope of getting information on anything thats been published but as yet am still awaiting a reply.I find it hard to contain my excitment over the finds, and they've only just scratched the surface by the sounds of it.The wealth of information that will come about as a result of these finds will be absolutely mind boggling I think! I just hope the International Academic community is also invited to partake in the new discoveries. I was reading , if I remember correctly a French or German team of archaeologists was also present!Oh well, guess it's a sit and wait situation, but by the sounds of it this is going be huge!
Cheers!

I've sent off an e-mail to someone who lives in Thessalonica and is interested, but it may well take some time before much more information emerges. I agree, it will be exciting to see what turns up.Susan
