Maria Liston (Anthropology Department, University of Waterloo): Greeks vs. Macedonians: the Skeletons of Men who Died at the Battle of Chaironeia, 338 BCE
Abstract
In 338 BCE, Philip II of Macedon and his young son, Alexander, defeated the allied forces of Greek city-states led by Thebes and Athens. In this battle, the Theban Sacred Band, an elite group of hoplite soldiers, was annihilated and the Greeks came under the control of Macedon. This lecture will present the skeletons of the Thebans buried at Chaironeia, and the cremated remains of Macedonians, probably the elite cavalry that fought with Alexander. The skeletons provide a glimpse of who these men were as they came to fight, and the wounds on the two groups indicate differences in fighting techniques in the clash of cavalry vs. hoplite infantry.
