A "WARRIOR" BURIAL OF THE MID-FOURTH CENTURY BC IN SOUTHEASTERN THRACE: TUMULUS C AT YÜNDOLAN NEAR KıRKLARELI
Abstract
Rescue excavations carried out at Yündolan C tumulus, one of the five tumuli located in the vicinity of the Yündolan village, Kırklareli province, have revealed a cist burial carved into the bedrock. The cist grave, showed traces of being subject to fire, possibly due to a primary cremation activity. Even though the metal and terracotta grave goods were considerably damaged due to fire and humidity, it is possible to make certain deductions. The three categories of grave goods, namely symposion vessels, containers for liquids and military gear indicate that there was a single male burial at Yündolan C and the deceased had a military position

GÜNEYDOĞU TRAKYA'DAN MÖ 4. YÜZYIL ORTASINA AİT BİR "SAVAŞÇI" MEZARI: KIRKLARELİ, YÜNDOLAN C TÜMÜLÜSÜ
Abstract
Kırklareli merkeze bağlı Yündolan Köyü yakınındaki beş tümülüsten biri olan Yündolan C’de gerçekleştirilen kurtarma kazısı sonucunda, kayaya oyulmuş bir kist mezar açığa çıkarılmıştır. Çevresi bir dizi taşla yükseltilen kist mezardaki yoğun ateş izleri, birincil kremasyon ile ilişkili olmalıdır. Ölüyle birlikte mezara bırakılan metal ve pişmiş toprak nesneler ateş ve nemden hasar görmelerine karşın, bazı saptamalara izin vermektedir. Mezar envanteri işlev açısından üç grup oluşturur: Symposion kapları, su kapları ve askeri teçhizat. Bu gruplama Yündolan C’de tek defin yapıldığına ve gömülen kişinin askeri görev taşıdığına işaret eder.Buluntular ışığında MÖ 4. yüzyıl ortalarına tarihlenen Yündolan C, Trakya genelinden tanınan gösterişsiz "savaşçı" mezarları için, bölgenin güneydoğusunda bir örnek oluşturması nedeniyle önem kazanır.
