Résumé En

Bronze Age tumuli are rare in Central Greece, as they are in the rest of the Greek mainland. They appear at Thebes by the end of the EH II period. Most of the tumuli within the area under study belong to the mature and late phases of MH or to the transition from the MH to LH period and only a restricted number are later. Until recently, the excavation or localizing of tumuli in thirteen different places in Central Greece and Thessaly had been reported. These tumuli, thirty in number, consist of a non-homogeneous group with different as well as common features regarding their construction principles, distribution, relationship with other kinds of cemeteries, types of graves, burial customs, grave goods and their use and chronology. In this paper the results of recent unpublished excavations as well as re-considerations of old publications are presented. Furthermore, the comparative study of the specimens of the group aims to reveal their common features and each one’s particularities, through an integrative presentation of the material at our disposal.
