*Winner of the 2019 Archaeology & Ancient History PROSE award from the Association of American Publishers (AAP)*

This is the first book to survey the 'hidden half' of prehistoric societies as revealed by archaeology - from Australopithecines to advanced Stone Age foragers, from farming villages to the beginnings of civilisation. Prehistoric children can be seen in footprints and finger daubs, in images painted on rocks and pots, in the signs of play and the evidence of first attempts to learn practical crafts. The burials of those who did not reach adulthood reveal clothing, personal adornment, possession and status in society, while the bodies themselves provide information on diet, health and sometimes violent death. This book demonstrates the extraordinary potential for the study of childhood within the prehistoric record, and will suggest to those interested in childhood what can be learnt from the study of the deep past.

'The writing style is engaging and clear. Archaeological examples are explained in plain English and scientific research is nicely delineated. The level and quality of writing should appeal to a wide readership from undergraduate or educated non-specialist to research academic.' — Catherine J. Frieman, Senior Lecturer in European Archaeology, Australian National University


'Derricourt has succeeded at the Herculean task of reviewing the entire corpus of childhood-relevant material from the archeological record.

It has it all
It's exactly what it advertises and does everything I need it to. Enough space to fit my phone, readers, car keys, AirPods, wallet, and a little extra space for a small candle. I only wish the slot for the charging cable was a bit smaller sometimes the charging cable will slide out since there is nothing to catch it or secure it in place.
