^{page 1 note 1} I take the opportunity of acknowledging here my very great indebtedness to my friend M. Pelekides, Ephor of Antiquities for Macedonia, who gave me much help in the preliminary arrangements and the fullest access to the results of his own excavations in the neighbourhood of Salonika, which throw considerable light upon the discoveries at Chauchitsa. I must also express my thanks to the Greek Government for granting permission to the British School for my excavation at Chauchitsa, and to the officers of the military frontier patrol at Bohemitsa for very great kindness in the way of occasional supply and transport. The cost of the excavations was covered by a grant from the British Association for the Advancement of Science.

^{page 9 note 1} See Seure, G.: Archéologie Thrace (Première Série, 1913), p. 62Google Scholar, and p. 61, inscription No. 40. This inscription is the only one from Thrace which actually refers to the law against τυμβωρυχία. Two similar references come from Asia Minor. There is no dearth of inscriptions both in Thrace and in Macedonia which refer to the offence without mentioning the law against it.

^{page 10 note 3} The Iron Age tombs at Theotokou, in Thessaly, (B.S.A. xiii. p. 321et seq.)Google Scholar were of this nature and contained no trace of incineration. The necropolis of Mouci-Yeri in the Caucasus (De Morgan, op. cit. p. 40) contained a large number of stone Slab Graves of the same general type as that of Chauchitsa. The principal difference between the two is that the Chauchitsa tomb was made to hold a body lying at full length, while those of Mouci-Yeri were shorter and made to hold bodies in a crouching position.

The graves of Hallstatt seem to resemble for the most part those of the hill-cemetery of Chauchitsa, and Slab Graves do not appear to have been in use there.
