The
first excavations on the site were carried out between 1957 and
1963-64, and brought to light the houses with the mosaic floors and
part of the Palace. A second campaign was undertaken in 1976 and is
still in progress. So far it has revealed the Agora, part of the
Palace, other houses, sanctuaries and cemeteries. Restoration work
was first carried out in 1957-1964 at the walls and the west, Ionic
peristyle of the house with the Dionysos mosaic. In 1976 a column of
the peristyle in the house with the mosaic of the "Abduction of
Helen" was restored.
Archaeological
Museum of Pella - The building was originally used as a tourist
pavilion but since it was the only available room, it housed the
exhibition of the excavation finds from Pella. After several
rearrangements of the interior, carried out in 1973, it was finally
converted into a museum. The present exhibition took its final form
in 1988. The exhibition includes topographical and architectural
plans, excavation photographs, explanatory texts concerning the
exhibits, texts on the history of the city, the physical setting of
the area, the history of the excavations etc. Also displayed are
models of the private houses and casts of figurines and vases made
with the ancient moulds found during the excavations. The museum
contains collections of finds from the excavations of private
houses, of the agora, the sanctuaries, the cemeteries and various
sites in the district of Pella. It also includes collections of
floor mosaics, architectural parts and coins.
Vaulted
Macedonian tomb, 4.70 m. wide and 7.50 m. long, with two
chambers and an Ionic facade with four tall columns. Remains of
coloured stucco preserved on the walls, bear representations of a
case and a mirror. The stone base of the funerary couch is also
preserved inside the chamber. Macedonian tomb, 6,15 m. wide, 6,15 m.
high and 10 m. long, with two chambers and a Doric facade of four
semi-columns. The entrance was flanked by a stone relief door. A
second marble door at the entrance of the burial chamber was
decorated with a painted relief head of Medusa and relief shields.
The tomb is lavishly decorated with ancient graffiti and votive
inscriptions of the 1st century B.C. and the 3rd century A.D. The
most important of these refers to Herakles and Alexander the Hero.
The tomb is dated to the end of the 4th century B.C. It was
excavated in the summer of 1994 and, after its investigation had
been completed, it was roofed and fenced.
