This idea seems straightforward, but it can be understood in many ways. On a basic level, children are necessary for the perpetuation of a household. On a deeper level, the definitions of child and member of the household are far from categorical. This book begins to explore the multiple definitions of child and the way the child fits within a household. It examines what membership in the household looks like for children and what factors contribute to it. A study addressing what a child is and how a child?s gender and social status affect her place in the household is vital to a proper understanding of the ancient Near Eastern household.Despite their importance, children have long been marginalized in discussions of ancient societies. Only recently has this trend begun to change within biblical and ancient Near Eastern scholarship. A recent wave of studies, especially in relation to the Hebrew Bible, has started to address children in their own right. In light of the current state of scholarship on children, the purpose of this book is threefold. First, Garroway continues to fill out the picture of the child in the ancient Near East by compiling child-centric texts and archaeological realia. In analyzing these materials, she surveys the relationship between children and ancient Near Eastern society by examining the extent to which structuring forces in a community, such as social status and gender, contribute to the process of a child?s becoming a member of his household and society. Finally, this information provides a base for future research, for example, a cross-cultural study of children in the ancient Near East in Classical Antiquity. 410 0$aExplorations in ancient Near Eastern civilizations. 606 $aSocial archaeology$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01122274 606 $aHouseholds$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00962162 606 $aHousehold archaeology$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01894058 606 $aChildren$xSocial conditions$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00855145 606 $aChildren$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00854835 606 $aHousehold archaeology$zMiddle East 606 $aSocial archaeology$zMiddle East 606 $aHouseholds$zMiddle East$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aChildren$zMiddle East$xSocial conditions 606 $aChildren$zMiddle East$xHistory$yTo 1500 607 $aMiddle East$2fast 608 $aHistory 615 7$aSocial archaeology 615 7$aHouseholds 615 7$aHousehold archaeology 615 7$aChildren$xSocial conditions 615 7$aChildren 615 0$aHousehold archaeology 615 0$aSocial archaeology 615 0$aHouseholds$xHistory 615 0$aChildren$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aChildren$xHistory 676 $a305.2309394 700 $aGarroway$b Kristine Henriksen$01663902 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820904703321 996 $aChildren in the Ancient Near Eastern Household$94021559 997 $aUNINA
