The first practical evideance that people wore solid footwear in Greece and, therefore, the earliest evidence of such footwear in Europe, the shoes had heavy soles and were laced to above the ankle bone, Miss Talcott said.

The shoes were among remains of the grave of an 18-year-old girl whose body, in the manner of the day, was cremated, Miss Taclott explained.

The body was burned on a pyre, and the ashes were placed in a clay container. Found with the container were the model shoes and small pots and jars, some of which probably contained perfume, food, water and favorite possessions of the girl. The style of the vases and pots indicate the date of the grave as being about 900 B.C.

“ The people of those days believed in a hereafter ”, said Miss Talcott, “ but why did anyone need more than one pair of shoes in the grave ? ”

The Greeks of that period believed that the deceased person faced a journey to another world and, in addition to food and drinks for the trip, only one pair of shoes was needed because the journey was not to be a long one.
