One of the main social topics of our time concerns what is done for people experiencing limitations in their lives. Care and inclusion are often named among the things, that make us properly human. If this assumption is true, the care for disabled people should be a constant element of human history. Archeology allows us to look closer into data from prehistoric times till modernity, demonstrating parts of the story that cannot be found in texts.
