Introduction: archaeological approaches to medieval childhood, c. 500-1500 / D.M. Hadley and K.A. Hemer -- Archaeology of the medieval family / Sally Crawford -- "Merely players": playtime, material culture and medieval childhood / Mark A. Hall -- The spaces of late medieval peasant childhood: children and social reproduction / Sally V. Smith -- Seeing the medieval child: evidence from household and craft / Maureen Mellor -- Eavesdropping on short lives: eaves-drip burial and the differential treatment of children one year of age and under in early Christian cemeteries / Elizabeth Craig-Atkins -- Through the flames of the pyre: the continuing search for Anglo-Saxon infants and children / Kirsty E. Squires -- Are we nearly there yet? Children and migration in early medieval western Britain / K.A. Hemer -- Interdisciplinarity, archaeology and the study of medieval childhood / Carenza Lewis.
The nine papers presented here set out to broaden the recent focus of archaeological evidence for medieval children and childhood and to offer new ways of exploring their lives and experiences. The everyday use of space and changes in the layout of buildings are examined, in order to reveal how these impacted upon the daily practices and tasks of household tasks relating to the upbringing of children. Aspects of work and play are explored: how, archaeologically, we can determine whether, and in what context, children played board and dice games? How we may gain insights into the medieval count.
