The Archaeological Museum of Piraeus presents an exhibition of archaeological finds

The Archaeological Museum of Piraeus (31 Harilaou Trikoupi, tel 210.452.1598, odysseus.culture.gr) presents an exhibition of archaeological finds during excavations at the Faliro Delta on Athens’ southern coast during the construction of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center, from 2012 to 2016.

One of the most fascinating discoveries made was that of a cemetery containing remains dating from between the 8th and 5th centuries BC, but also an extraordinary mass grave of 80 skeletons, 36 of which were in shackles. “Falirothen: Between Two Worlds” is split into distinct sections on the funerary practices in Attica during the Early and Late Archaic periods, on Early Attic pottery and the bioarchaeological analysis of three burials, which offers clues into the identity of the dead and parts of their life histories.
