Saratse Toumba Excavation 1929
Excavation: Research excavation
The tomba of Saraste in Central Macedonia, located on the road from Thessaloniki to Serres, was excavated by W.A. Heurtley, Assistant Director of the British School at Athens, in 1929. Early, Middle and Late Bronze age levels were found with a layer of Early Iron Age above. Heurtley indicated that the tomba shared the same characteristics as many of the Chalkidike mounds, except it appeared to have escaped the displacement of population as in the other mounds from settlers from Anatolia. The site was abandoned by the fifth century BC.
Active from 11/03/1929 to 23/03/1929.
