An extensive northern necropolis and smaller necropolises are in the west and south (40°22′51″N 22°37′07″E / 40.380732°N 22.618475°E / 40.380732; 22.618475), as well as individual graves and burial mounds.

Graves from the mid-4th century BC are smaller than those created before or after, which archaeologists attribute to hard economic times.

The most elaborate design embodies the monumental Macedonian tombs, the two most significant of which are located in Korinos.

In addition to pottery, jewelry, weapons, and tools, richly decorated glass vessels have been uncovered.

The clay vessels were mainly imported from Attica, in rarer cases also from Corinth or other places around the Aegean; some are also from local production.

[6] Located at the juncture of three ancient roads, some 3,000 graves from the Classical and Hellenistic periods have been discovered.

The vast part of the northern necropolis still remains uncovered and the land is currently used by farmers to grow crops.

The simple graves were mostly untouched when archaeologists found them, in contrast to the Macedonian burial mounds, which were often already looted during antiquity.

A burial mound some 500 meters north of the ramparts of ancient Pydna contained tombs from the 5th and 4th centuries BC.

They thus represent the largest period of burial culture from the ascent to the fall of the Macedonian kingdom.
