Athens, Nov 12 (IANS): Greek archaeologists have uncovered new impressive finds in an ancient Macedonian tomb in northern Greece, an expert said Wednesday.

Greek experts uncovered the tomb of a soldier, who died during Alexander the Great's reign (336-323 BC), at the site of Vergina, 80 km southwest of Thessaloniki port, Xinhua reported citing leading archeologist Aggeliki Kottaridis.

A bronze wreath and an ancient storage vessel were also found in the tomb among other burial offerings. The items will be exhibited sometime in the future at the museum of Vergina.

This tomb, dating back to the same era of Alexander the Great, is smaller than the one located at the site of the ancient city of Amphipolis, 80 km northeast of Thessaloniki.

Archaeologists have unearthed magnificent sculptures and mosaics since August in the larger tomb, which seems to have been looted in the past. The mystery of the person buried in the tomb of Amphipolis remains.

The Vergina site has become known worldwide since 1977, when Greek archaeologists uncovered the burial site of Macedonian kings, including the tomb of Philip II, Alexander's father.
