Childhood in the Past is a fully peer-reviewed journal providing an important forum for publication of papers that deal with all aspects of children and childhood in the past. The focus of the journal is children, childhood, and all aspects of the representation of children in the past, and a great variety of source materials - historical, archaeological, anthropological, literary and more are used. The journal fills an important gap in recognising that the study of childhood in the past is a cross-disciplinary venture, requiring communication of ideas across normal academic and chronological boundaries. Papers from all disciplines relating to the study of childhood in the past - archaeological, historical, anthropological, medical, psychological and more are included.
