Tracing Childhood: Bioarchaeological Investigations of Early Lives in Antiquity

Acknowledgments

Acknowledgments This book idea came about as the result of a panel that was organized for the American Anthropological Association (AAA) meetings and was sponsored by the AAA Children and Youth Interest group. The editors would like to thank the AAA for that opportunity and all the participants of that session, many of whom are contributors to this volume. We thank the Department of Anthropology, UNLV, and the Anthropology and Social Work Department at KSU for their support. Dedications Jennifer L. Thompson: My work is dedicated to my parents, Tom and Marie , for all my wonderful childhood memories, and to my husband, William Sommerfield, for all his love and support. Marta P. Alfonso-Durruty: I would like to dedicate my part to my parents, Pilar and Cristián, who gave me life and have given me all. John J. Crandall: I would like to dedicate my work on this volume to the mothers in my life: Beth Crandall, Elizabeth Schulenberg, Vassa Neimark, and especially Sandra Hunsinger.
