This is the first book to survey the 'hidden half' of prehistoric
societies as revealed by archaeology - from Australopithecines to
advanced Stone Age foragers, from farming villages to the
beginnings of civilisation. Prehistoric children can be seen in
footprints and finger daubs, in images painted on rocks and pots,
in the signs of play and the evidence of first attempts to learn
practical crafts. The burials of those who did not reach adulthood
reveal clothing, personal adornment, possession and status in
society, while the bodies themselves provide information on diet,
health and sometimes violent death. This book demonstrates the
extraordinary potential for the study of childhood within the
prehistoric record, and will suggest to those interested in
childhood what can be learnt from the study of the deep past. -- .
