Archaeological experiment: Food for the Gods
On the occasion of YRA2024, the archaeological experiment “Food for the Gods: Sacrifical Pyres in the Archaeological Record” was carried out by a team from the Cyprus Institute. The experiment aims to reproduce the archaeological remains of pyres. An altar was build based on archaeological data, ancient iconography and contemporaneous written sources, and different materials placed as offerings. The pyre was then carefully lit, its temperature evolution recorded. After the pyre burned down, it was completely covered with soil and left to be carefully excavated in several months.
