Who was running Athens at that time, the Gambinos?

We might be reaching peak archaeology. One hundred years from now quantum computer equipped robots might not care at all, or be embarrassed by their heathen creators.

LOL, only if they find a lot more skeletal remains at Fort Marcy Park. But then they would all probably be deemed suicides, even if shackles were found.

Children in pots. Child sacrifice?

Metal was not cheap back then, surprising that the Greeks would throw it away. The shackles were probably worth more than the slaves.
There's more to this story, I suspect.

Children in pots. Child sacrifice? I doubt it, probably just how they buried the infants at that time.
To: Robert DeLong
Athens overthrew a tyranny within that time period. Homer is alleged to have live at the beginning of it. The Peloponnesian Wars at the end. In between Persian invasions, civil wars and lots of other mayhem.

Hey, if they had an annual ostracism to toss one of their prominent politicians out of the US for ten years, I’d be all for it.

No. The feet would have been in cement blocks.

Probably leftovers that went bad.
I did a paper on sacrifice in the Med. area once and my research of documents, art, and pottery showed that sacrifice—including child sacrifice—was much more widely practiced in Western culture than is comfortable for Western historians to accept.
