An ancient necropolis was discovered at the Falirikon Delta, in Attica during works for the building of the ‘Stavros Niarchos Cultural Centre over the past 20 days. The impressive archaeological finds, which can be safely dated to the third quarter of the 7th Century BC due to a clover wine bearer, revealed 80 male skeletons in a group burial ground, one of which seems to have been hit by an arrow suggesting he might have been trapped. The new finds were presented by the head of the Central Archaeological Council of western Attica, Piraeus and Islands, who proposed the continuation of the excavations. many of the skeletons were bound, while all of them appear to have been in perfect physical shape through examination of their teeth and other observations. The last man was unearthed on March 31and and had his legs tied. The Stavros Niarchos Foundation made it clear that it would not plant trees in that area.
