ARCHAEOLOGICAL MUSEUM OF PIRAEUS / PIRAEUS
Falirothen. Between two worldsThe temporary exhibition “Falirothen. Between two worlds” (Falirothen means Coming from Faliron in Greek) includes some of the most important findings from the rescue excavation of the SNFCC in Delta of Faliro.
The exhibition is articulated in 4 conceptual sections:
The two sections, with the main topic on the burial customs of Attica during the early and late Archaic period, focus on the objects that accompanied the deceased, as well as those that were part of the ritual for the care of the deceased on their final journey. The aim of the narrative is to illuminate different aspects of Athenian society through funerary traditions and practices.
A section is devoted to early Attic pottery with the aim of presenting some of the most important vases of the period, many of them coming from well-known Attic laboratories.
Finally, in the fourth section, three from all the burials that have been examined through bioarchaeology, were selected. This study presents the identity of the people who have been buried, narrating details of their life story.
