At the site of Livadia, the royal necropolis of ancient Aiani from the Archaic and Classical periods was excavated.

Twelve monumental built chamber tombs and smaller box-shaped tombs were uncovered, along with a large number of pit graves dating to the Archaic, Classical, and especially Hellenistic periods.

Some were marked by stone burial enclosures, while others featured elaborate funerary monuments, such as grave stelae and marble statues. In the larger tombs, structures were identified that indicate the posthumous heroization and veneration of specific deceased individuals.

The dead were richly κτερισμένοι adorned with grave goods, including clay and metal vessels, figurines, jewelry, weapons, strigils, miniature carts, clay horses, and more. These findings attest to the city’s robust economy, the high standard of living of its inhabitants, and its cultural alignment with the broader Greek world.

Additionally, a cemetery from the Late Bronze Age and a Neolithic settlement were excavated in the area.
