Were There Double Cremations at the Phaleron Burial Ground in Greece
This article examines cremation deposits containing more than one individual from the Archaic archaeological site of Phaleron (ca. 750–480 BCE), located in Phaleron Delta, Attica, Greece. Our research question focuses on whether these individuals were intentionally burned together and what this practice meant for the individuals involved. To address this inquiry, we reconstructed the biological profiles of the cremated individuals, examining deta…
Injury and Community in Archaic Greece
Few documentary sources survive for the Archaic Period (c. 700–480 B.C.) in Athens and the surrounding region, including the nearby port of Phaleron. Therefore, bioarchaeological insights from the Phaleron Burial Ground (PBG) are invaluable for this period of political and social transformation prior to the well-known Greek democracy of the Classical period. The PBG was the final resting place for individuals from different social classes, some o…
The Archaic Period Diet
The recently excavated Phaleron Burial Ground in Attica, Greece, documents the lived experiences of Archaic period individuals (700–480 B.C.). In this study, we employ stable isotope analysis to infer temporal changes in dietary patterns for ancient Greece and to explore the dietary habits and social organization of adult individuals from the Phaleron Burial Ground (n = 60). Stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes of bone collagen and stable carbon i…
Skeletal Sex Estimation for Human Remains From Archaeological Contexts
The estimation of sex in the analysis of human remains from archaeological contexts is an essential tool for reconstructing the demographic profile of past populations and their lifestyles. Methods for skeletal sex estimation are commonly based on visual assessment of the pelvis and cranium, but their application is often limited by the poor preservation of these elements in archaeological collections. Several standards have been developed to pre…
Kinship as social strategy
Biological distance measured from cranial and dental data. • Biologically homogeneous group buried in the same burial ground over a long period of time. • Mortuary practices as kin-making strategy. • Kinship as strategy for anchoring innovation in social practices. The Early Mycenaean era in mainland southern Greece is characterized by radical social transformations. The changes observed in the mortuary sphere include the introduction of new prac…
Bioarchaeological insights into the Late Helladic communities of South Kynouria, Peloponnese
This paper examines the human osteological remains unearthed from six Late Helladic (LH IIIA2‐IIIB2) (1390/70–1200/1190 BCE) tombs at Socha in the Peloponnese. It seeks to investigate the character of a Mycenaean community that though organically integrated into and highly dependent on the palatial system, manifested Mycenaean burial practices with a distinctly local character, namely, through the use of built cist‐tombs. Our analysis investigate…
Health, diet, and mortuary practices in the countryside of Byzantine and post‐Byzantine Boeotia
This paper explores issues of health, diet, and mortuary practices in the countryside of Boeotia, Central Greece, during the Byzantine and post‐Byzantine periods (12th‐19th centuries AD). Boeotia was one of the Byzantine Empire's most important economic and artistic centers with a flourishing life in the cities and the countryside alike and a varied (socially and culturally) population. The human remains unearthed in connection to the church of H…
Pronkjewails in verre oorden
Pronkjewails in distant places: Mortuary studies in the eastern Mediterranean by the GIA. The Greek Archaeology research group of the GIA specializes in mortuary archaeology, studying sites in the eastern Mediterranean and Middle East that date from the Bronze Age through to the Late Roman period. Our methodology includes theoretical approaches; cemetery excavations; the analysis of legacy data; studies of grave architecture, tombstones and grave…
Burials and human osteological remains from the Βronze Αge acropolis of Aghios Ioannis in northeastern Kopais, Boeotia, Greece
This paper reports on the MH II/III Burial Cluster II excavated at the MH acropolis of Aghios Ioannis in Boeotia, Greece. The burial ground comprises various funerary structures (tumulus, rectangular enclosure, cist graves) and provides evidence on primary and secondary mortuary treatment. The analysis is based on the remains of 22 individuals and explores issues of health and mortuary practices. The contextual approach of the human osteological …
Skeletal evidence of Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis (Dish) in a collective burial from Byzantine Greece
The paper reports on a collective burial from a 13th c. AD cist grave in Attica, Greece. The grave was located inside a basilica and held the remains of at least ten adults. Bone representation analysis showed secondary manipulation of previous deceased including long bone selection for reburial in the same grave and/or bones transported from a different burial place. Paleopathological analysis used macroscopy and radiology, and revealed several …
Artificial cranial modification on a female skeleton from the Byzantine site of Maroneia (Thrace, Greece)
Artificial cranial modification is one of the most often documented types of intentional intervention on the human skeleton in the anthropological record. A female cranium exhibiting headshaping recently came to light at the Early Byzantine site of Maroneia, in Thrace, northern Greece. Headshaping was practiced by several different population groups during the migration period (1st–9th c. AD), but was unknown in Byzantine customs. Homogeneity in …
