This research delivers a comprehensive archaeological analysis of two unpublished Roman-period tumuli at Spilaio in Greek Thrace, drawing on extensive excavation archives to reconstruct local burial practices and long-term ritual sequences. Although located within the same micro-region, the two monuments reveal strikingly different internal organizations and histories.
Grounded in theoretical frameworks of object biography and cultural memory, the project examines how these funerary monuments were continuously used, revisited, and reinterpreted over time, ultimately filling a major gap in the rural mortuary archaeology of the provincial Balkans.
