Archaeological site of Vardarski Rid to Gevgelija

Vardarski Rid is probably the first site in Gevgelija. The fortress is permanently inhabited for more than 1000 years from the end of the Bronze Age (XIII century BC) until Romans’ arrival (II-I century BC). Six consecutive settlements, starting from small prehistoric settlement of the 1st Reed, during the 5th and 4th centuries BC are the base for establishment of old ancient Macedonian town „Gortinias“, mentioned historically as one of the centers of Ancient Macedonia. After a period of more than 1,000 years during the Middle Ages (11th-11th centuries AD), the necropolis sector was used again for the burial of Vardarski Rid’ population. The findings of all six studied sectors are remains of an Old Macedonian town (6th century BC), and there are also graves from the oldest, probably initial settlement from Bronze Age’s end (XIII century BC).
