Agora Excavations

Agora Excavations refer to archaeological digs focused on uncovering the remains of ancient marketplaces and public spaces known as agoras, primarily in Greek city-states like Athens. These excavations aim to reveal the layout, structures, and artifacts that offer insights into the social, political, and economic life of ancient civilizations. By carefully excavating, archaeologists can piece together how people interacted, traded, and governed themselves. The findings help us better understand historical urban planning, culture, and daily life in antiquity, providing valuable context for the development of Western civilization.
