Maria A. Liston is an Associate Professor and Chair of the Anthropology Department at the University of Waterloo. Susan I. Rotroff is the Jarvis Thurston and Mona Van Duyn Professor in the Humanities at Washington University in St. Louis. Lynn M. Snyder is an anthropologist/archaeologist with a specialization in zooarchaeology at the National Museum of Natural History of the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C.

The Agora Bone Well is a poignant text, effectively marrying scientific methods and humanistic inquiry. The rigorous analysis is relevant to scholars studying ancient childbirth, paleopathology, zooarchaeology, ceramics, mortuary ritual, Athenian topography, and more. Unlike most multidisciplinary volumes, this text weaves together a clear, concise, and coherent narrative. American Journal Of Archaeology "This book represents an invaluable contribution to our understanding of 2nd century BCE Athens and infant death and deviant burials in ancient Greece. It is also a demonstration of what can be accomplished when specialists work together to understand a total picture, one comprised of pieces that would have been considered separately in earlier days. The authors present an honest approach to an imperfect data set, allowing readers to assess the data and its potential interpretations for themselves. It is a welcome update to our understanding of this deposit and will not, I think, be soon superseded in its broader conclusions." Bryn Mawr Classical Review "This volume represents a well written, engaging story full of sociological insights, unanswered puzzles and human pathos. The Agora Bone Well is an example of the best sort of cooperative scholarship our field has to offer." Classical Journal
