The site of the battle of Thermopylae was identified by archaelogists finding millions of arrowheads. As to the bodies of the Spartans, these with the exception of Leonidas (as he was taken by Xerxes and mutilated) where found and identified (by the use of the invention of dog-tags (a wooden twig with the soldier's name scratched onto it, strapped onto their arms)) and buried in a mound, resting place at Thermopylae with the inscription:
'Go tell the Spartans, stranger passing by, that here obedient to their laws, we lie.'
Leonidas' body was later returned and he was buried at Sparta.
