This comprehensive collection takes a multi-disciplinary approach to studying ancient childhood, encompassing diachronic, regional, and thematic perspectives. It delves into classical studies, Egyptology, ancient history, and a wide range of archaeology, including iconography and bioarchaeology. Spanning from the Bronze Age to Byzantium, this survey is the most extensive exploration of childhood in the ancient world, covering Egypt, Greece, and Italy.
Within this chronological and regional framework, the book explores the social construction of childhood and the experiences of children through key topics such as the definition of childhood, daily life, religion and ritual, death, and the insights provided by bioarchaeology. No other volume to date offers such a comprehensive, systematic, and cross-cultural study of childhood in the ancient Mediterranean world.
In particular, its focus on identifying society-specific definitions of childhood and incorporating the bioarchaeological perspective sets this work apart as a unique and innovative study. Children in Antiquity serves as an invaluable resource for scholars working on various aspects of children's lives and deaths in the ancient Mediterranean world.
