商品描述
The study of childhood in historical archaeology enriches interpretations of the past, but also has the potential for contributing to the understanding of methodological and theoretical issues in archaeology. Archaeologically, children are understudied relative to both their demographic and social importance, partly because children are viewed as difficult to discern in the archaeological record. Historical archaeology, with its access to historical documents to supplement and illuminate archaeological evidence, provides an opportunity to gain a greater understanding of the ways children's daily lives in the past were expressed in historically changing types and patterns of material culture. Recent research presented in this volume contributes valuable perspectives for conceptualizing the historically changing social nature of childhood and methods for illuminating the roles of children. Case studies are designed to illustrate methodological and theoretical advances in the historical archaeology of materialized experiences, discourses, identities, places and their meanings associated with parenting and childhood.
The volume is organized into three sections devoted to case studies about 1) how childhood and parenting have been socially constructed cross culturally and temporally, 2) social ideologies of childhood in contested spaces, and 3) the relationship between children's experiences and adult expectations of childhood. Each chapter demonstrates advances in current methods or theories used in the archaeology of childhood. A final discussant, drawn from the broader field of research on the archaeology of childhood, provides a commentary on the ways the perspectives provided in the volume can be employed by researchers outside the sub-discipline of historical archaeology.

歷史考古學中對兒童的研究豐富了對過去的解釋，同時也有助於理解考古學中的方法論和理論問題。從考古學的角度來看，相對於兒童的人口和社會重要性，對兒童的研究還不足，部分原因是因為兒童在考古記錄中很難辨識。歷史考古學通過使用歷史文件來補充和闡明考古證據，提供了一個機會來更深入地了解過去兒童日常生活在歷史上變化的物質文化類型和模式中的表達方式。本書中提出的最新研究為概念化兒童的社會性質的歷史變化和闡明兒童角色的方法提供了有價值的觀點。案例研究旨在說明在物質化體驗、話語、身份、地點及其與育兒和兒童相關的意義的歷史考古學中的方法論和理論進展。
本書分為三個部分，分別介紹了以下案例研究：1）兒童和育兒在跨文化和時間上是如何被社會建構的，2）有爭議空間中的兒童社會意識形態，以及3）兒童經歷與成人對兒童的期望之間的關係。每一章節都展示了在兒童考古學中使用的當前方法或理論的進展。最後，一位來自兒童考古學研究領域的討論者對本書中提供的觀點如何被歷史考古學以外的研究者應用進行了評論。
