The excavations of the KH Prehistoric and Classical Antiquities in the Tomb casta in Amphipolis brought to “light” today yet more new important discoveries.

The removal of the blocks of the wall sealing revealed almost the entire front of the funerary monument, which is in its highly original composition for the same architecture type of the Macedonian tomb of the last quarter of the 4th century BC.

The facade is decorated the same with the side walls, with fresco imitating the broad marble wall. The maximum spacing between the pilasters is 1.67 meters. The typology suggests that there were no door panels but this is mere inlet opening.

Further, with the continued removal of soil inside the vestibule, appeared beneath the marble of Ionic architrave, an inset marble from uprights along the side walls. At a distance of 6 meters from the entrance opening it was revealed the top marble septal wall with a small section of the left part missing. Behind it appear to be two more rooms.

In the septal wall is expected to be a second entrance leading to the interior of the monument. Soils of the space behind the door will be removed in the coming days.
