Babies Reborn: infant/children burials in prehistory

As distinct age groups, babies and children have their special place in the archaeological record. The examination of the manifold manifestations of their presence in prehistoric contexts would attract scholarly attention with approaches varying from purely archaeological and bioarchaeological analyses of burial contexts through chronology observations to interpretations and reconstructions of ritual and symbolic systems. Cross-cultural comparisons and parallels as well as the multidisciplinarity of these considerations would contribute to a more complete picture of the social and ritual structures in prehistory.
