As researchers become increasingly interested in studying the lives
of children in antiquity, this volume argues for the importance of
a collaborative biocultural approach. Contributors draw on fields
including skeletal biology and physiology, archaeology,
sociocultural anthropology, pediatrics, and psychology to show that
a diversity of research methods is the best way to illuminate the
complexities of childhood. Contributors and case studies span the
globe with locations including Egypt, Turkey, Italy, England,
Japan, Peru, Bolivia, Canada, and the United States. Time periods
range from the Neolithic to the Industrial Revolution. Leading
experts in the bioarchaeology of childhood investigate
breastfeeding and weaning trends of the past 10,000 years; mortuary
data from child burials; skeletal trauma and stress events; bone
size, shape, and growth; plasticity; and dietary histories.
Emphasizing a life course approach and developmental perspective,
this volume's interdisciplinary nature marks a paradigm shift in
the way children of the past are studied. It points the way forward
to a better understanding of childhood as a dynamic lived
experience both physically and socially.
