Burial Customs Section

A red-figured Attic hydria which was used as an urn and a red-figured pelike introduce us into the hall with finds from the cemeteries.


Around the walls of the hall there are showcases with funerary assemblages and grave markers.


In the central part of the hall, 8th and 7th century BC vessels used for Clazomenian interments, a pithos burial of a man (4th century BC), a clay relief sarcophagus (5th century BC), two plain clay children’s sarcophagi (4th century BC), and two burial representations in cist graves of a woman, dating to the 4th century BC, and of a man, dating to the 2nd century BC, are exhibited.
