 | | Taking the history of gold as its central theme, it presents the culture of Macedonia from the 6th century bc to 148 bc, discussing the use of gold (jewellery, sartorial decoration, gilding of objects and vessels, coins), the technology of the manufacture of gold jewellery, and the techniques of gold mining. |
 | | There are also numerous finds from the cemeteries of Macedonia (Sindos, Ayia Paraskevi, Nea Filadelfia, Makriyalo, Derveni, Liti, Serres, and Evropos), and their role in the burial customs is described. |
