ekathimerini.com Shedding light on daily life and habits of ancient Greeks
The ASCS in Athens has a lab where increasingly high-level forensic analysis can be done: they are now taking on the cache of 450 human infant skeletons from the 2nd c. CE found in a "well" many decades back. Seems to show practices of disposing of the remains of stillborn babies, babies who died in their first days, and perhaps deformed babies in ancient times. Oh, yeah, there are dog skeletons, too. Nobody quite knows what that's about.
