I’m at Kerameikos where we get the word “ceramic” from and where tombs date back to a thousand years bc (and earlier).
Viewing out towards the ruins of Kerameikos. There’s a large domed church in the view. A Johnny come lately to this ancient cemetery.

A miniature #horse on wheels, found in a 2,100-year-old grave. Could this have been a toy, or a funerary offering to the gods?

#EpigraphyTuesday - One that is sad and sweet in equal degree. A grave stele from the Kerameikos, inscribed with the name ΗΔΙΣΤΗ - 'Hediste'. A red painted band with a bow is the sole decoration: ca. 400 BC. #Greek 🏺

It's only ceramics if it's from the Kerameikos region of Greece, otherwise it's just fired pottery

It's only ceramics if it's from the Kerameikos. Otherwise it's sparkling pottery.

A funerary bull, Pentelic marble turned to ghostlight (c. 345–340 BC). Kerameikós still whispers: names fade, bones dissolve, but stone endures—solemn, unblinking. Eternity hides in the cracks, where silence devours memory whole.

23. Craters of Kerameikos by @explodingcongee.bsky.social

A pointcrawl across a dangerous fog-choked island-in-a-crater for Into the Odd ☄

Incredible maps & layout in this one, as well as some badass public domain art! This one seems particularly lethal, but has a risk-worthwhile treasure horde

Old Athens: the forest in the trees
#Athens #UrbanPhotography #Ancient
A cluster of columnar grave markers all grouped together at the archaeological site of the Kerameikos cemetery. They are about waist high and made of weathered marble, mostly unadorned, with a ring near the top and names carved into them. Pine trees, and, in the background, a bit of the site’s lovely little museum.

Athens by night: Kerameikos

Night. Black and white. A street, a sidewalk, the moon overhead, a parked car. On a step outside a shuttered store, a pair of white plastic mannequin legs, female and disembodied, sits, knees bent.

Y aquí el BONUS THREAD de la publicación de ayer 😂😂
Bicheando por Instagram encontré una publicación del Kerameikos Project de la Univ. de Virginia que llamó mucho la atención.
¡Reproducción de tejidos históricos y uno de los usos de las tablillas!
Observad esta imagen 👇🏼
Skyphos de figuras rojas. Presenta a dos figuras, un hombre de pie sujetando un bastón junto a una mujer sentada, con gesto apesadumbrado. Tras ella se visualiza un telar, con bonitas figuras tejidas.
