This second edition, published 17 years later, retains the first edition's emphasis on combining sources from archaeology, anthropology, environmental studies, psychology, and sociology, to create a rich interdisciplinary basis for studying childhood across time and across cultures. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe second edition is updated with archaeological studies about childhood that have been published in the past 20 years, and readers will see that the archaeology of childhood is a field with a relatively short history but a rich and varied scholarship. Archaeologists study children in the very recent past, as well as Neanderthal and early modern human children, and every period in between. These studies use artifacts, the built environment, spatial analyses, the artistic representations, skeletal remains, and mortuary assemblages to illuminate the lives of children, their families, and communities. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book's eight chapters cover: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1: The Archaeology of Childhood in Context\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e 2: Childhood in Archaeology: Themes, Terms, and Foundations\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e 3: The Cultural Creation of Childhood: The Idea of Socialization\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e 4: Socialization and the Material Culture of Childhood\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e 5: Socialization, Behavior, and the Spaces and Places of Childhood\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e 6: Socialization, Symbols, and Artistic Representations of Children\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e 7: Socialization, Childhood, and Mortuary Remains\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e 8: Looking Back and Moving Forward\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book provides a comprehensive introduction to the major themes in the archaeological study of childhood and introduces the concept of socialization as a way of framing archaeological scholarship on children.
