Children's Burials

Children's Burials is a scholarly construct in funerary archaeology that specifically refers to the archaeological examination and interpretation of burial practices, treatment, and socio-cultural contexts pertaining to individuals who died in childhood, distinguished from adult burials by age-specific mortuary indicators, skeletal characteristics, and ritual expressions reflective of societal perceptions of childhood and the afterlife.
