On the top of the tomb it was found remains of many inflammable objects and two burnt iron swords and one iron spearhead. All those artifacts found there testify that a symbolic burials was performed of Cassander's sons, Antipater and Alexander V, in the moment before the tomb was finally coverd with earth.
