Strabo – “Geography”
“There remain of Europe, first, Macedonia and the parts of Thrace that are contiguous to it and extend as far as Byzantium; secondly, Greece; and thirdly, the islands that are close by. Macedonia, of course, is a part of Greece, yet now, since I am following the nature and shape of the places geographically, I have decided to classify it apart from the rest of Greece and to join it with that part of Thrace which borders on it and extends as far as the mouth of the Euxine and the Propontis. Then, a little further on, Strabo mentions Cypsela and the Hebrus River, and also describes a sort of parallelogram in which the whole of Macedonia lies.”

belly. In one case a man lies with his arms stretched out from<br />
the body and holding in his left hand six fish-hooks. Sometimes<br />
those buried in the normal posture have their hands<br />
stretched alongside the body.<br />
The poor seem occasionally to have put several dead in<br />
the same grave. A man, his wife and a ten-year-old child,<br />
all with mean accompaniments, were found in one grave. In<br />
another were a man and his wife, between them earthen<br />
ves.sels and two iron knives. One foot and a half higher in<br />
the earth were the remains of a child 10 to 12 years old.<br />
The graves show that the crernationists were the wealthier,<br />
the inhumationists the poorer class. The difference of burial<br />
customs indicates a difference of race, and as both the Ligurians<br />
and Illyrians inhumefl their dead, whilst the Celto-Umbriaiis<br />
cremated them, there is a strong presumption that the poorer<br />
class at Hallstatt were composed of Ligurians or Illyi'iaus or a<br />
mixture of both.<br />
The contents of the graves offer<br />
many features of the<br />
hight'st importance. We shall comtnence with the weapons.<br />
The warrior's full etjuipment consisted of a sword, a dagger,<br />
three or four javelins, and a larger sjteai',<br />

northern iron swords are brought abruptly to a point <strong>by</strong> two<br />
straight lines (Fig. 70, nos. 1, 2). They are not adapted for the<br />
