- This edited book of 15 chapters plus 2 forewords provides the first exploration of the infant-mother nexus as an entangled unit in archaeology and anthropology. The book calls for a profound shift in methodological and theoretical approaches to infancy and motherhood in the past. It builds upon years of research by both editors on infancy, maternal health and the life course, which culminated in a cross-disciplinary Wenner-Gren funded workshop. The book provides a unique emphasis on the centrality of the infant-mother nexus for understanding past populations, providing in-depth case studies from different contexts and disciplinary perspectives.
