Abstract

This project is an effort to address the issue of the spatial organization of burial ensembles, funeral practices and the emerging social differentiation in the cemeteries of ancient Kamara. Through the archeological data, we can form a special image for the treatment of the dead throughout the Hellenistic and early Roman era on the west coast of Mirabello Bay. Based on the excavated data that have emerged and taking into account the elements of geomorphology in the topographic dispersion of the cemeteries in the modern city of Agios Nikolaos, this dissertation mainly examines the location and organization of the cemeteries of Kazarma, Stavros and Potamos in relation to the settlement, the typology of the tombs and the burial gifts. In order to manage the large number of burial sets of this study, a quantitative and statistical approach of the material is considered, which does not aim at removing the burial data from their contexts, nor from the society that produced them. For this purpose, tables and graphs have been used in order to outline the burial variability, as well as any trends regarding the burial practice. Prior to the issuance of general concluding remarks, a reconstruction of the burial rite will take place and issues of interpretation concerning the social position of the dead and their perceptions of the Afterlife will be highlighted. Our aim is to understand the social identity of the dead on the island of Crete, through data that so far remain unnoticed, as the disintegration of the cemeteries of Kamara probably reflects different forms of population and social organization.
