Excavations in Athens have uncovered the remains of an Ancient Greek dwelling. Archaeologists have found pottery dating back thousands of years and they have been using the decorations on these pots to find out about life in Ancient Greece. The pottery was in broken pieces and all the fragments had to be carefully matched. Archaeologists then studied the pots carefully and tried to work out what the pictures showed.
