The first edition of The Archaeology of Childhood has been credited
by many as launching an entire new area of scholarship in
archaeology. This second edition, published 17 years later, retains
the first edition's emphasis on combining sources from archaeology,
anthropology, environmental studies, psychology, and sociology, to
create a rich interdisciplinary basis for studying childhood across
time and across cultures. The second edition is updated with
archaeological studies about childhood that have been published in
the past 20 years, and readers will see that the archaeology of
childhood is a field with a relatively short history but a rich and
varied scholarship. Archaeologists study children in the very
recent past, as well as Neanderthal and early modern human
children, and every period in between. These studies use artifacts,
the built environment, spatial analyses, the artistic
representations, skeletal remains, and mortuary assemblages to
illuminate the lives of children, their families, and communities.
The book's eight chapters cover: 1: The Archaeology of Childhood in
Context 2: Childhood in Archaeology: Themes, Terms, and Foundations
3: The Cultural Creation of Childhood: The Idea of Socialization 4:
Socialization and the Material Culture of Childhood 5:
Socialization, Behavior, and the Spaces and Places of Childhood 6:
Socialization, Symbols, and Artistic Representations of Children 7:
Socialization, Childhood, and Mortuary Remains 8: Looking Back and
Moving Forward This book provides a comprehensive introduction to
the major themes in the archaeological study of childhood and
introduces the concept of socialization as a way of framing
archaeological scholarship on children. Case studies and examples
from around the globe are included, and the author's expertise on
childhood in 18th-20th century America is drawn upon to provide
more familiar examples for readers allowing them to question their
own assumptions and understandings of what it means to be a child.
Each chapter ends with discussion questions and learning
activities.
