An ancient Greek object was found in an excavation of the archaeological site of Agora in Athens. It was a ceramic jar containing bones of a chicken and a nail. On the jar's surface were writings of 55 people's names and the phrase that is understood to mean: "we bind". This is believed to have been a witchcraft jar, used to cast a magic spells on many individuals. The tell-tale signs are the bones of the chicken, the nail, the words and names. It was quite common for cursing rituals to go on like this back in ancient times. The names of the individuals on the jar reveal that they were the victims of the binding curse. This jar was found in 2006 alongside a coin beneath a craft worker's section in Agora but they have just cracked the code for understanding the writing on the jar.
