Popis: Although in Lycia the most tombs are situated outside the city walls – as well as in other parts of the ancient world – the existence of intramural burials is discussed since the days of the first travellers of the 19th century. Especially a comment of O. Benndorf and G. Niemann describing that Lycian tombs are often combined with intramural individual houses – a combination which seems to blur the boundaries between the settlement and the necropolis – had a large impact on later scholars. In this paper I will give a general and diachronic but also a critical overview of this phenomenon especially based on observations made in the necropoleis of Xanthos and the settlement on the Avşar Tepesi (Zagaba?).
