The Necropolises of Pydna contain Macedonian tombs situated around ancient Pydna along the historic road connecting Methone to Dion [1]. The burial sites range from the Bronze Age to the early Christian period, representing nearly 2,000 years of continuous use [1]. Smaller tumuli have been lost to erosion, while rescue excavations have revealed significant archaeological material [1][2]. Evidence indicates a population decline during the second Greek colonization period [1].
