An interesting variety of chamber tomb shapes have been brought to light in Voundeni?s cemetery. They do not only echo the artistic architectural imagination of the craftsmen, but also the particular preferences of their prospective users. One can see chambers of varying dimensions and shapes; their ground plans can be circular, square, horseshoe-shaped, four-sided with a vaulted roof and sometimes irregularly shaped. The largest ones are tombs 4 and 75, which, judging by their architectural details and their large dimensions, must have been used by officials of the settlement. Most of the burials were accompanied by grave offerings, usually every-day use objects, such as pots, jewelry, tools, weapons and various implements useful to the deceased in the journey to the underworld.
