Shiroka group burial mounds situated near the Shiroka village,
situated around 1.5 km south of town of Suhareka (Theranda), stretches
on the right side of the road. The Dardanian cultural group of the tumulus,
characteristic for the construction type with circle shaped graves,
built by a mixture of earth and river stones, was identified at this site.
Not far from this locality, a multilayer site of Hisar in one side and the
Dubiçak burial mounds in the other side are situated. The past archaeological
excavations carried here, resulted with the remains of a necropolis
of the Bronze Age date and reused during the Late Iron Age. The
discovered movable archaeological material composed of abundant and
particular findings distinctive for the ornamented and decorated earthenware,
most likely indicate that the vessels were imported and came
through the trade and exchange from the Hellenic world and beyond.
The necropolis of Shiroka, was erected during the 8th-6th century BC.
