Reconstruction of the cremation burial located to the northwest of the Areios Pagos. The dead was a warrior, as testified to by the offerings accompanying the amphora where the ashes and bones of the dead were kept. Apart from vases, spearheads and a sword were found placed around the shoulder of the amphora. 900 BC. Drawing: J. Travlos. © American School of Classical Studies at Athens: Agora Excavations.
