The study investigates burial practices in the Lychnidos region from the Iron Age to the end of the Hellenistic period. Through archaeological evidence and historical accounts, the paper aims to shed light on the identity and ethnic origins of the local inhabitants, focusing on funerary rites as a means of reconstruction. It addresses the complexities introduced by regional interactions, particularly among the Epirote, Macedonian, and Illyrian tribes, and the ongoing debates regarding the categorization of the Enchelei and Dassaretae tribes.
