          The funerary material to be studied includes different aspects of burial rites with an emphasis on parameters, such as tomb size and typology<\/strong>, grave goods, various funerary features, evidence of post and ante burial rituals<\/strong>, with their actual and potentially symbolic value<\/strong> taken into consideration.<\/p>

          The graves will be recorded in a geospatially enabled relational database, by implementing Geographic Information System (GIS)<\/strong> for an enhanced contextualisation and analysis of the funerary record. The attribute tables will form the basis for geoprocessing and the analyses at macro- and micro-levels. GIS will allow spatial analysis, as well as the visual depiction of the spatial distributions of burial attributes, artefacts and bioarchaeological remains, allowing a sophisticated statistical analysis of their interrelation.<\/p> <\/div>\n\t\t \n

          \n\t\t\t\t

          Macroscopic<\/strong> and microscopic<\/strong> analytical methods, as well as isotopic analyses<\/strong> will be employed for the comprehensive study of the project\u2019s human skeletal remains for assessing issues of:<\/p>

          • palaeodemogaphy<\/li>
          • palaeopathology<\/li>
          • palaeodiet<\/li>
          • people\u2019s provenance and mobility<\/li>
          • taphonomy to explore burial practices including post-burial treatment of the dead<\/li><\/ul> <\/div>\n\t\t \n
            \n\t\t\t\t

            An archaeometrical analysis will be applied on the objects accompanying the shackled violently killed of the necropolis.<\/p>

            A macroscopic<\/strong> and microscopic<\/strong> investigation<\/strong> of the shackles and of the rest of the metal objects with the application of invasive and non-invasive analytical techniques<\/strong> will be operated for investigating the objects\u2019<\/p>

              Study of the ancient historical and legal sources<\/strong> for:<\/p>

              \u2022 a better understanding of the funerary data from Phaleron
              \u2022 the best possible explanation of the traces of violence at the cemetery
              \u2022 the illumination of the realities of Athenian society in the 7th century BC and more importantly its violent aspects<\/p> <\/div>\n\t\t \n

              \n\t\t\t\t

              The cognitive study<\/strong> of the archaeological data from Phaleron draws on recent advancements in cognitive archaeology<\/strong>, specifically in the cognitive archaeology of memory.<\/p>

              Memory is defined as a multi-temporal process continually emerging through actions involving people and things.
              Adopting this cognitive approach, the study will:<\/p>

              \u2022 approach the human remains from Phaleron as active agents: memories that sparked a long process, started in the 7th century, and influencing the gradual development of sociocultural ideas on identity and citizenship over time
              \u2022 illuminate the mnemonic processes that underlie the development of Athenian democracy
              \u2022 contribute to understanding the role of material culture in constituting human memory across time<\/p> <\/div>\n\t\t <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
