The study of childhood in historical archaeology enriches
interpretations of the past, but also has the potential for
contributing to the understanding of methodological and theoretical
issues in archaeology. Archaeologically, children are understudied
relative to both their demographic and social importance, partly
because children are viewed as difficult to discern in the
archaeological record. Historical archaeology, with its access to
historical documents to supplement and illuminate
archaeological evidence, provides an opportunity to gain a greater
understanding of the ways children's daily lives in the past
were expressed in historically changing types
and patterns of material culture. Recent research presented
in this volume contributes valuable perspectives for
conceptualizing the historically changing social nature
of childhood and methods for illuminating the roles of children.
Case studies are designed to illustrate methodological and
theoretical advances in the historical archaeology of materialized
experiences, discourses, identities, places and their meanings
associated with parenting and childhood. Â The volume is
organized into three sections devoted to case studies about 1) how
childhood and parenting have been socially
constructed cross culturally and temporally, 2) social ideologies
of childhood in contested spaces, and 3) the relationship between
children's experiences and adult expectations of childhood. Each
chapter demonstrates advances in current methods or theories used
in the archaeology of childhood. A final discussant, drawn from the
broader field of research on the archaeology of childhood, provides
a commentary on the ways the perspectives provided in the volume
can be employed by researchers outside the sub-discipline of
historical archaeology.Â
