Analysis of the bottles show they contain residues of milk from animals, suggesting children's diets were supplemented.
Nature
The bottles studied were first discovered between 20 and 30 years ago, when these sites were first excavated. However, they recently became available for study—and the team wanted to find out whether they were for infant use, and what they dispensed. One of the vessels studied—like several other examples of bottles from this period—was shaped like a mythical animal. Commenting on the different shapes and styles produced, Dunne said:"They all seem very different. The zoomorphic ones, I assume are meant to represent mythical animals are not as common as the plainer ones. I would also say I think this shows us the love and care these prehistoric people had for their babies.
After the shift to a more agricultural-based lifestyle, there was something of a Neolithic baby boom. Several factors likely contributed to this increase in population, but the discovery of milk being used as a supplement for children may have played a role.
