| Sumario: | The United States is a relatively young nation, having been established less than 250 years ago, but in this brief time the country has undergone dramatic growth and significant transformation. Children always have been central in American culture, and historical and popular sources acknowledge the power and importance of children in families, communities, and the nation as well as their substantial role in influencing intergenerational change. Archaeological work focusing on children is becoming increasingly common and illustrates how children shaped and reflected values and ideals within families and the nation as a whole. Domestic sites, institutions for children, and mortuary studies are prominent areas of current work and future prospects in the archaeology of childhood in the United States. |
