Children and Childhood in Bioarchaeology: Bioarchaeological Interpretations of the Human Past: Local, Regional, and Global Perspectives

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.
