Pergamon – Bericht über die Arbeiten in der Kampagne 2011

Excavations at Pergamon's North Hang revealed it as a historically significant, bustling suburban area with strategic importance, contradicting its current isolated status. The 2011 campaign uncovered late Byzantine necropolises, ancient graves, a quarry, and pathways, providing insights into local transportation and settlement patterns. Additionally, the Southostnekropole excavation expanded understanding of burial practices, grave forms, and anthropological data from the Hellenistic period. Geoarchaeological studies further reconstructed historical environmental scenarios, while the Tumulus Taşdam Tepe excavation uncovered a double-layered tomb likely from the 4th century BCE, offering crucial insights into pre-Hellenistic social structures in Pergamon's surroundings.
