Summary/Abstract: The Gradishor-Mramor site is located 1.5 km to the south-east of the village Miletkovo placed on a large plateau that covers an area of about 2,5–3 hectares, directly on the right bank of the river Vardar, a location that is so similar to the site Vardarski Rid (ancient Gordynia) and other archaeological sites along the Vardar River. However, this site has spurred our interest in research because it is im¬mediately opposite the famous site Isar-Marvinci, through the river Vardar. In the special records of the immovable cultural heritage in the field of archeology in the Republic of North Macedonia, the site is registered as a settlement and a necropolis from the Hellenic-Roman period. In the literature, this location is potentially taken into account when locating the ancient city of Idomene, one of the cities that Thucydides lists along the valley of the Vardar River in the famous campaign of the Thracian military leader Sitalces in Macedonia in 429 BC and the attacks on several cities in Povardarie or ancient Amphaxitis (Idomenаe, Gordynia, Europos and Atalanta). In this text for the first time will be presented so far discovered material immovable and movable findings of this site, as material contributions for confirmation or not, on written historical sources, i.e. the settlement on the site of Gradishor-Mramor is an integral part of The city of Isar (a suburban villa or a villa rustica) or at the exact location of the ancient cities of Dober and Idomenae.
