Thanks once again for posting, as ever, lots of very interesting material.

My Greek is virtually non existent, but I take the emboldened line referring to p.204 figure 10 refers to the rather spectacular photo of a buried cart or chariot, complete with two horses? Can you tell us more about it ?

"Carts and cremations in the mound between Mikri Doxipara and Zoni."
The mound constructed on a natural elevation, is one of the largest in Thrace, with a diameter of 60 and a height of 7.5m , and it is very close to the Greek-Bulgarian border.The mound covered four cremation burials, five carts, and two horse burials.Other finds included several areas with remains of offerings,two hearth pits, and two four-sided brick stuctures that were used as altars.
The find dates to the late 1st and early 2nd century AD,and probably belonged to the family pf a wealthy local landowner.
A very summative of the english summary of the scientific article written by the archaeologists D.Triandafyllos and D.Terzopoulou in the A.E.M.Θ ( Archaeological facts in Macedonia and Thrace )
The location isnt in Samothrace -my mistake- but in Thrace., a region famous for its horses ( in myths etc)
