Sauron was THE necromancer, as Fingolfin has quoted. The place-name of Sauron's abode at the time was the hill of dark sorcery.

Necromancy is a little more specific than mere sorcery, once into the realm of magics. Necromancy is power drawn through communion with the dead. This is important to understand, considering that Sauron was weakened at the time and his real power was in his dead servants - the Ulairi, who arose and prepared his temple anew in the Barad-Dur. Not very surprising or sensational, but very appropriate.
