Description
Summary:The necropolis of Paroikia in Paros has been in use from the 8th century BC. to the 3rd century AD. The exceptional gathering of deceased, who constitute that funerary space, allows the expression of values such as collectivity mostly. Thanks to the material data that provides an overview of the relationships between the living and the dead, this grouping sheds light as one of the earliest forms of political consciousness in the Greek world. Later tombs, on the other hand, show the evolution of this consciousness while reflecting private manifestations who belong to their times. The funerary material thus appears as a way of accessing the construction and the persistence of a speech that contributes to grasping the Parian identity.
