Scholars at the National Museum of Denmark in collaboration with Archéorient CNRS in France and the University of Milan in Italy have identified 4500-year-old baby rattles that were produced by professional potters in an ancient city in Syria. They were probably sold at the market to parents who wanted to entertain – or distract – their children.
