Laus ad te, Laran! The burial techniques in both cases are interesting, as they are part of the local tradition rather than that of Persia (burial in clay coffins, burial in pits in stone tombs, and exposure all seem to have been used in Achaemenid Iran). Perhaps we are looking at the graves of Medized Anatolian aristocrats?
Edit: In case it helps in locating a hard copy of the photos, could you give us the page numbers of all those photos where they aren't obvious? I see they come from Vol. 89 of Arkeo-Atlas, published in 2007. That would also make citing them easier. I may just get these images printed in colour on good paper though!

I have not checked this forum frequently since 2013, but I hope that these old posts have some value. I now have a blog on books, swords, and the curious things humans do with them.
