Abstract: The aim of the present exposition is to investigate varieties of almost minimal degree and of low codimension, in particular their Betti diagrams. Here minimal degree is defined as degX=codimX+2. We describe the structure of the minimal free resolution of a variety X of almost minimal degree of codimXleq4 by listing the possible Betti diagrams. The most surprising fact is, that the non-arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay case of varieties of almost minimal degree can occur only in small dimensions (cf. Section 2 for the precise statements). Our main technical tool is a result shown by the authors (cf. cite{BS}), which says that besides of an exceptional case, (that is the generic projection of the Veronese surface in mathbbPK5) any non-arithmetically normal (and in particular non-arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay) variety of almost minimal degree XsubsetmathbbPKr (which is not a cone) is contained in a variety of minimal degree YsubsetmathbbPKr such that $codim(X,Y) = 1.
