Description	From Dr. Keefe's journal: "On way out of Agora I stumbled across a votive funeral pit of 350 BC, but it looked EXACTLY like a baptismal font w/small circle below, turning into square at top, all inset in a square -- if these were common, Christians going into same type of font would have thought of death, maybe even THEY were the funeral offering!"
