| Summary |
"The book concerns a 2nd-century B.C. Athenian well containing the bones of nearly 460 newborn infants, a few older individuals, about 150 dogs, and other cultural waste. It focuses on neonatal mortality, the deaths of infants in the first few days of life, and especially on how the babies died, how ancient societies reacted to those deaths, and how the infants, older individuals, and the dogs came to rest in the well."-- Provided by publisher |
