Abstract:
This brief communication aims to note on the rather rarely reported condition of Stafne’s cavity (Stafne, 1942) among ancient Greek populations affecting in this case a 7th c. BC, older (from 55 to ca. 60/65 years of age) male individual retrieved from the “Akpinar” necropolis of Klazomenai (Klazoumen-Urla, Turkey), one of the twelve cities of the Greek Ionian Confederacy located in Asia Minor (Herodotus, 1:142).
