Summary/Abstract: This issue offers an attempt at exploration of several problems concerning the foundation of the city of Apollonia Pontica, the development of its chora and the localization, the chronological and territorial variations of the ancient necropolis (necropoleis). The question under discussion is examined in a relation to the city planning, its topography and the social, political, ideological and demographic factors which determine the territorial and structural changes of the grave plots in the course of the late 7th h - 2nd centuries B.C.
