This research project will collect and evaluate all material and physical anthropological data from
the cemeteries of Thorikos in an attempt to reconstruct social, ideological and political realities in
this deme from the Early Iron Age (900 BCE) to end of the Late Classical period (300 BCE),
especially in relation to the city of Athens. By adopting a multidisciplinary approach, following the
latest developments in demographic studies, which take into account questions of age, gender,
pathology, kinship ties and mobility, it is aimed to gain insights into the identity and modes of life
of the burying and buried population.
