An ancient mass grave containing 80 bodies was discovered by archaeologists in the area of the Faliron Delta.

The bodies appear to belong to young men, well-built, with excellent dentition and were placed side by side and were shackled. One skeleton was discovered with an arrowhead stuck in its shoulder suggesting he might have been captured.

The impressive finds can be safely dated to the third quarter of the 7th century BC because of the presence of two trefoil jugs discovered nearby. This date may connect the skeletons with the Cylonian affair.
