  • 摘要:Evidence of children in the material record can be both elusive and ambiguous, and most typical and comfortable interpretations of the archaeological record create a view of the past where adults are the only cultural actors. Literature on the archaeology of childhood presents a challenge for archaeologists to rethink their assumptions about childhood and to approach the archaeological record in a way that enables the social, economic, and symbolic contributions of children to become viable parts of the stories we tell about life in the past. This paper presents and engages this particular aspect of the literature on the archaeology of childhood using the case of graffiti identified at a former 19th century plantation site on the island of San Salvador, The Bahamas. Initial interpretations of graffiti in these contexts focused on the symbolic meanings and archival functions of such artwork in the world of adults. A careful examination of the graffiti, however, indicates that children were likely responsible for the creation and consumption of this artwork, and that a different set of symbolic meanings and social functions may have been the motivation behind its creation.
