If there was ever a cool archeolgical place them Pella coupled with King Philip’s tomb is IT.

[Red Badger]

At Pella? Well, that opens up a whole NEW WINDOW on the situation!.............

[Domangart]

What do you do with these multi layer digs? Dig where you can or move the top layer off site?

[longtermmemmory]

It is a HUGE area.

Also the Greeks have significant experience with this stuff.

(in fact if you are ever in Athens, the subway station at Syndagma Square has a wall that is a side slice of the items found at that station’s site)

Everything is moved and catalogued. Then now use computer mapping on the more significant sites.

Also in Macedonia (Greece not the fake FYROM) there are burial mounds in the region which have yet to be explored.

it is all rather remarkable.

If after more extensive exploration, and particularly if they find the city attached to the cemetary, it will be interesting to determine if in fact there was a major decline in this community after 2,000 BC. Ever since blam posted the info about the 4,000 year old 2 mile diameter boloid crater in the Iraq Marshes, I have been looking for other signs of significant disruption of civilization in the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern world of that epoch.

[SunkenCiv]

Depends on how the dating of the site was done — the earlier strata may not be that old.
