Necropolis

A large, spatially organized burial area or cemetery associated with an ancient settlement, typically featuring planned tomb groups, funerary monuments, pathways and ritual architecture that reflect social, religious and spatial relationships between the living and the dead.

An extensive, often planned funerary complex or district—spatially distinct from residential zones—composed of burial sites, monuments and associated ritual infrastructure that organizes collective funerary practice, memory and status display across a cultural landscape.
