Learning 'From Nobody': The Limited Role of Teaching in Folk Models of Children's Development

David F. Lancy · 1 Sep 2010

Among the Western intelligentsia, parenting is synonymous with teaching. We are cajoled into beginning our child's education in the womb and feel guilty whenever a 'teaching moment' is squandered. This paper will argue that this reliance on teaching generally, and especially on parents as teachers, is quite recent historically and localised culturally. The majority follow…

The Archaeology of Play Things: Theorising a Toy Stage in the 'Biography' of Objects

Sally Crawford · 1 Apr 2009

AbstractToys – objects that we can recognise and confidently assert were toys, either through specific association with children, or through comparison with objects that we 'know' were toys in other periods – are absent in the settlement archaeology of most pre- and proto-historic periods. There is good reason to argue that children played with things,…

Analysis of publication trends in the major osteoarchaeology and physical anthropology journals demonstrated a rise in research papers dealing with skeletal remains of children, with dietary and palaeopathological studies especially predominant. Innovations…

Breastfeeding and Weaning Behaviour in Archaeological Populations: Evidence from the Isotopic Analysis of Skeletal Materials

This involves the analysis of isotope ratios which are indicative of diet. Nitrogen isotopes have been used for this purpose for some years, but there is increasing evidence to suggest that other chemical elements can…

Childhood Health in the Roman World: Perspectives from the Centre and Margin of the Empire

Rebecca Gowland, Rebecca Redfern · 1 Sep 2010

Very few studies to date have presented contextualised interpretations of bioarchaeological evidence from Roman urban environments. This paper compares and contrasts the osteological data for childhood health from two urban centres, one at the centre and the other at the margins of the Roman Empire – Rome and London. We synthesise recently published and newly…
