AI Summary

In 2016 archaeologists excavated the Phaleron Burial Ground in ancient Attica and uncovered three mass graves dating to the 7th and 6th centuries BCE. The graves contained the skeletons of 79 adult men, many of whom were bound together with metal shackles. Radiogenic strontium analysis of the remains suggests the men were likely local residents of the area. The study, published in the Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports, maps the strontium signatures over the burial site to support this conclusion.
