However, infancy, the pregnant body and motherhood continue to be marginalised. This book will focus on the mother-infant relationship and the variable constructions of this dyad across cultures, including conceptualisations of the pregnant body, the beginnings of life, and implications for health. This is particularly topical because there is a burgeoning awareness within anthropology regarding the centrality of mother-infant interactions for understanding the evolution of our species, infant and maternal health and care strategies, epigenetic change, and biological and social development. This book will bring together cultural and biological anthropologists and archaeologists to examine the infant-maternal interface in past societies. It will showcase innovative theoretical and methodological approaches towards understanding societal constructions of foetal, infant and maternal bodies. It will emphasise their interconnectivity and will explore the broader significance of the mother/infant nexus for overall population well-being. . 410 0$aBioarchaeology and Social Theory,$x2567-6776 606 $aArchaeology 606 $aPhysical anthropology 606 $aArchaeology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X13000 606 $aBiological and Physical Anthropology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X12010 615 0$aArchaeology. 615 0$aPhysical anthropology. 615 14$aArchaeology. 615 24$aBiological and Physical Anthropology. 676 $a155.4228 702 $aGowland$b Rebecca$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aHalcrow$b Siān$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910370049903321 996 $aThe Mother-Infant Nexus in Anthropology$92210796 997 $aUNINA
