A Monumental Hellenistic Funerary Ensemble at Callatis on the
Western Black Sea presents one of the most spectacular early
Hellenistic funerary monuments, recently excavated on the western
Black Sea coast by a Romanian-Bulgarian-Polish interdisciplinary
research team. Documaci Tumulus, covering a painted tomb, and
marked by a monumental statue, was built at the threshold of the
4th to 3rd centuries BC in the cemetery of the Greek City of
Callatis. The sophisticated construction techniques and the remains
of commemorative rituals attest to the dynamic political arena of
the Diadochi wars in the Black Sea area and offer a glimpse into a
complex and interconnected world of Hellenistic architects and
artists. The monument will fuel discussions about the mechanisms of
ritualised identity expression in mixed cultural environments,
functioning under the pressure of political change, or about
community membership, symbolic discourse and ancestors- all
reflected in 'le jeu des miroirs' of the funerary practices.

1. The Emergence of warrior societies and its economic, social and
environmental consequences. Proceedings of the XVII UISPP World
Congress (1-7 September 2014, Burgos, Spain) Session A3c edited by
Fernando Coimbra and Davide Delfino: Several works have been
dedicated to the aim of warfare in European Bronze Age, by a point
of view of bronze technology and archaeometallurgy. The present
volume wants to be a short and actualized contribution to the study
and interpretation of warrior societies, through a point of view of
the marks of the first warfare in Europe, its causes and its
consequences in all the intelligible evidences, both from a point
of view of material culture, of landscape, of human behavior and
artistic manifestations. 2. Aegean - Mediterranean imports and
influences in the graves from continental Europe - Bronze and Iron
Ages. Proceedings of the XVII UISPP World Congress (1-7 September
2014, Burgos, Spain) Session A16a edited by Valeriu Sirbu and
Cristian Schuster: There is already a 'history' with not only
different, but sometimes contradictory opinions regarding the role
played by the Aegean-Mediterranean area in the evolution of the
peoples who lived in continental Europe during the age of Bronze
and Iron, including burial customs. The organizers of this session
proposed, through ongoing communication and the discussions that
followed, to obtain new data on the influences and
Aegean-Mediterranean imports found in the graves, and the possible
movements of groups of people who carried them. The main area of
interest focused on the 'roads' and the stages of their
penetration, but also considered feedback from peripheral areas.
The session aims to highlight the role of the southern imports in
the evolution of local communities' elites and their impact on the
general development of the populations of continental Europe, the
possible meanings of their deposit in the burials. Analysis of
these phenomena over wide geographical areas (from the Urals to the
Atlantic) and large chronological periods (the third-. first
millennia BC) allow the identification of certain traits as general
(eg., the continuity and discontinuity), or particular (eg., the
impact of imports and southern influences on communities of
different geographical areas).
