ABSTRACT The industrialised production of baby food in the UK and in the USA starts in the late nineteenth century with technological advancements in food preservation. It also led to a flourishing of promotional advertisements. The study analyses baby food advertisements by the brands Allenbury and Mellin at the early stages of their business (1880s–1940s). Visual and verbal analyses are conducted to investigate how children were characterised in advertisements. The aim of the study is to understand the extent to which baby food advertisements were a reflection of the changing role of children in British and American society.

her own privilege and lens as a white, middle class mother and Canadian anthropologist, and undoutebly this has affected her framing of this book. She does focus heavily on the food expectations and industry of North America. ‘Healthy’ food is defined using Canadian government guidelines, for example, and the children’s food industry discussion focuses on those foods commonly marketed to children in North America. However, she incorporates literature and her own case studies from elsewhere in the world, ensuring that the book remains relevant to those outside of a North American context. Ultimately, as Moffat notes, children embody our social, cultural and political norms around feeding, as well as environmental constraints on food availability. The anthropological study of childhood feeding does not just tell us about the nutrients children are taking in, but also about the world around them as a whole. In Small Bites Tina Moffat explains how the negative effects of our food systems are disproportionately affecting our children, and this book is a call to action to do something about it.

ABSTRACT This article focuses on three East German descriptive picturebooks from the 1950s that explain the production of bread, milk, and fish. These production stories not only convey knowledge by means of the juxtaposition of text and images but also emphasize the achievements of the five-year plan with respect to the provision of food for the citizens of the German Democratic Republic. This combination of information and propagandistic messages served to encourage the child readers’ identification with the agenda of the socialist state. Hence, the presumptive role of the child reader as naive consumer merges with the idea of the politically engaged socialist child.

ABSTRACT In Indian School Days, Basil Johnston remembers eating watery porridge – ‘sad ol’ mush’ – at St. Peter Claver School for Boys. A collaboration between the Canadian government and Christian churches to assimilate Indigenous children, residential schools served food that aligned with this mission. Zooming in on the history of the poetics and politics of porridge, this article weaves together a study of the food residential schools served with writing by survivors and from the genre of children’s literature. It asks: How does breakfast connect to larger conflicts over land and power? And what role does children’s culture play in this?
摘要：在印度学生时代，巴兹尔·约翰斯顿（Basil Johnston）记得在圣彼得·克拉弗男子学校（St.Peter Claver School for Boys）吃过水粥——“悲伤的糊状物”。加拿大政府和基督教会合作同化土著儿童，寄宿学校提供与这一使命相一致的食物。本文着眼于粥的诗学和政治史，从幸存者的写作和儿童文学的类型出发，对食物寄宿学校进行了研究。它问道：早餐与更大的土地和权力冲突有何联系？儿童文化在其中扮演了什么角色？

The last three decades have witnessed the development of studies of food in children’s literature. The expansion of this particular area within children’s literature studies stems from a combination of factors. From a scientific viewpoint, over this period of time children’s literature studies and food studies underwent significant development and consolidation as research areas in their own right. In all likelihood, this happy coincidence contributed to a surge of interest among children’s literature scholars in the significance of eatables in children’s stories: indeed, from a narrative standpoint, food has a crucial role in stories aimed at a primary child audience. And last, but definitely not least and certainly related to the factors listed above, interest in food and eating in children’s literature also depends on the simple fact that, for a wide range of reasons, all human cultures share an interest in food. It is indeed a widely accepted notion among researchers involved in food studies to any degree that, in Massimo Montanari’s words, ‘food is culture’ (2006). Given that food is such a powerful component of an individual’s cultural identity, what happens when it is no longer possible to access food, in general, and food constituting ‘my’ culture, in particular? And what role does food have in building new cultural, national, and individual identities? Over the last few years, the COVID pandemic impacted on underprivileged constituencies’ access to food and on how cultures all over the world related to food and nutrition; war events, of which the war in Ukraine is the most recent example, provoke the uprooting of whole communities, with consequent lack of access to food, especially to food that is part of these communities’ cultural identity. In the wake of events such as these, it becomes important to consider the questions above, especially when children are involved, because of their limited physical power and political and bodily autonomy. Childhood and Food: Literary-Historical Perspectives (c. 19-20th centuries) tackles these questions, looking at how literature for and about children represented the connection between food, children, and cultural identity at moments of dramatic social, cultural, and economic change over the last two centuries. In her seminal article ‘Some uses of food in children’s literature’, Katz (1980) wrote: ‘understand the relations between the child and food,... and you understand the workings of the world of the young’. ‘An examination of what’s eaten, by whom, when, and where’, she continues, ‘gives one a portrait of children’s manners, problems, and

ABSTRACT This article examines 1950s Israeli children’s journals’ dual attitude towards the austerity regime that characterised the early years of Israel’s statehood. While they endorsed austerity and prompted children to do their part in the national struggle for survival, they simultaneously depicted food fantasies set in remote or fantastical worlds, offering young readers an escape from the harsh reality of rationing.

ABSTRACT Natural disasters, pandemics, and epidemics have devastating impacts on communities. Poverty, famine, ill health, social isolation, and death are some of the consequences of such events. Transformations in culture, religion, political and economic stability, and other social aspects can also be attributed to catastrophic incidents. Whilst such events have been well documented and studied, little attention has been given to their effect on children. Using osteoarchaeological and historical evidence, this review article explores how children appear to have been affected during, and in the aftermath of, natural disasters and epidemics. A range of cases from Antiquity to the modern day is provided, alongside three focal case studies. This research demonstrates analogies with the present-day where countries face disease outbreaks, droughts, floods, and earthquakes. Ultimately, the findings presented in this paper illustrate the extent to which these events shaped the lives and deaths of children in the past.

ABSTRACT Differences between estimated dental and skeletal ages can provide a gauge of an individual’s growth status, which more broadly reflects an individual’s health status. This case study provides a summary of the skeletal growth status in a dentally aged 2.0–2.5-year-old (Burial 519) victim of chronic physical abuse from the Kellis 2 cemetery (cal AD 100–450), Egypt. Absolute size of postcranial elements in Burial 519 is generally more similar to a dentally aged 1.5–1.9-year-old cohort than to an age-matched cohort. Growth deficits are least in the skull and greatest in the leg supporting previous studies demonstrating that these regions may be less sensitive and more sensitive, respectively, to environmental stressors. Within the postcranial skeleton, growth deficits are least in the clavicle which may have methodological implications for the skeletal ageing of children. This case study provides an opportunity to examine broader biocultural sources of adversity on skeletal growth in early life.

Welcome to the Spring issue of Volume 15 of Childhood in the Past, the journal of the Society for the Study of Childhood in the Past (SSCIP). Despite the Covid-19 pandemic, 2021 was an active year for the Society. In May, Creighton Avery from McMaster University, Canada, delivered the biannual SSCIP lecture online on the topic of: ‘Gendered Childhood Diets: An Analysis of Dietary Stable Isotopes in Tooth Dentine in Roman Gaul’. A new book entitled The Family in Past Perspective: An Interdisciplinary Exploration of Familial Relationships through Time, edited by SSCIP Treasurer Ellen Kendall, and Ross Kendall, was published by Routledge in June. The volume was based on papers presented at SSCIP’s nineth annual conference held in Durham University in 2016. A SSCIP session entitled ‘Tracing Baptism in the Archaeological Record’, organised by Colm Donnelly (Queen’s University Belfast), Mark Guillon (UMR 5199 Bordeaux University), Emilie Portat (Paris Nanterre University) and I, was held as part of the 27th annual meeting of the European Association of Archaeologists which took place online in September. The 13th annual SSCIP conference was held virtually in October and was organised by our Book Reviews Editor, Siân Halcrow of the University of Otago, New Zealand. The conference was scheduled as eight short sessions over four days to accommodate the different time zones of participants. Keynote addresses were given by Maureen Carroll of the University of York, Alison Behie of The Australian National University, Holly Dunsworth of the University of Rhode Island, and Sarah Knott of Indiana University Bloomington. The conference was a truly international affair and a total of 34 lectures were delivered involving researchers from 17 different countries. The Society is extremely grateful to Siân for all her efforts to organise what was a hugely successful conference. The next SSCIP annual conference is being organised by Daniel Justel Vicente and will take place at the University of Alcalá (Alcalá de Henares, Madrid, Spain) on 8–10th November 2022. The next volume in the SSCIP monograph series – Normative, Atypical or Deviant? Interpreting Prehistoric and Protohistoric Child Burial Practices (edited by Eileen Murphy and Mélie Le Roy) – will hopefully be out later this year and will be the tenth in the series. We are always happy to receive proposals for future monographs and these should be submitted to Lynne McKerr, General Editor of the monograph series, following the guidelines provided on the SSCIP website. Volume 15 of our journal commences with an invited piece by Creighton Avery, Tracy Prowse, Sheri Findlay and Megan Brickley, entitled ‘Bioarchaeological Approaches to the Study of Adolescence’. The paper explores why this phase of the life course has received limited attention until recent years and discusses how macroscopic and biochemical approaches can be used to investigate evidence for adolescence in the skeletal record. This is followed by thre
