The Archaeology of Childhood
Children existed in ancient times as active participants in the societies in which they lived and the cultures they belonged to. Despite their various roles, and in spite of the demographic composition of ancient societies where children comprised a large percentage of the population, children are almost completely missing in many current archaeological discourses. To remedy this, The Archaeology of Childhood aims to instigate interdisciplinary dialogues between archaeologists and other disciplines on the notion of childhood and children and to develop theoretical and methodological approaches to analyze the archaeological record in order to explore and understand children and their role in ...

Historic Bottle and Jar Closures
This book presents a much-needed review of commercial closures for bottles and jars used in America prior to World War II. Archaeological attention to commercial closures has been rather limited. This is surprising given that data derived from bottles and jars pertain to a wide range of studies, including chronological control, trade, site functions, and methods of manufacture. Closures are an integral part of these studies, becoming particularly important after a spectacular variety of metal and glass caps in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This volume-provides a comprehensive review, including detailed closure definitions, as well as glass finishes;-discusses the history of the development and impact of the hermetic seal in commercial closures;-will appeal to students, professionals, and collectors studying this common historic artifact class.

The Scalping of Archie McCullough: The True Story of the Sole Survivor of the Enoch Brown Massacre
On July 26, 1764, an event occurred on the Pennsylvania frontier so shocking that it has been vividly remembered and retold for over 250 years. Eleven children gathered in a lonely log school house that warm summer morning. By noon they lay weltering in their own blood, scalped and dead or dying. And yet, one of the students, ten year old Archie McCullough, survived. He left no first hand accounts but by drawing on original sources, contemporary accounts and the work of others Mr. McCulloh brings this story to life in a unique way. In the lead chapter the attack is told from Archie's perspective in a full, dramatic narrative. The known facts have been wrapped in imagined thoughts, actions and dialog to present the story as never before told. The book also includes a factual, historical account of the full story and includes a selection of the earliest reports from obscure and long out-of-print sources. The Scalping of Archie McCullough is an invaluable source of information on the Enoch Brown Massacre.
