Overview

The archaeology of childhood has seen a remarkable surge in interest over the last few years; this volume presents updated papers from the conference which kickstarted that interest, held in Cardiff in 2005. Topics range from the purely theoretical, to case studies from the Dakhleh Oasis Project, Etruscan Tarquinia and Iron Age Austria, and articles on child burial in Bronze Age Europe, early medieval Wales and Anglo-Saxon England, as well as religious aspects of childhood and Norwegian bog burials.
