An archaeozoological analysis was carried out in the Herakleion on Thasos in order to compare the textual evidence concerning the «ritual of the Prytany» with that yielded by recent excavations, which in a dear stratified context produced securely dated pottery in association with abundant well-preserved osteological material. The results show that if the ritual, or at least the dietary prohibitions and methods of dividing up the carcasses connected with the ritual were ob served in the Archaic period, this observance was not kept up in later rimes. Furthermore the duality of the cuit of Herakles, heroic and divine, was confirmed on Thasos by the convergence of the archaeological and textual evidence and the faunal remains.
