Description
Care, Socialization and Play in Ancient Attica is an archaeological approach to understanding childhood development in ancient Greece. This book examines how infants and young children were cared for, socialized, and engaged in play within their family units. The authors reconstruct the social and behavioural world of infants and young children based on a rich collection of archaeological finds from the classical period. A selection of child artifacts is presented, uncovering groundbreaking evidence that sheds new light on child development. By exploring the cultural and sacral functions of toys and play in ancient Athenian society, this book provides a unique insight into the lives of children in ancient Greece.
