Such information is useful in investigating factors that affect bone growth and development, including sex, age, puberty, pathology, and activity. This paper presents a standardized recording method for nonadult entheses based on 29 archaeological individuals of archivally known sex and age-at-death, ranging from two to 17 years. This paper (a) assesses the range of osseous changes of 16 entheses in the upper and lower limbs of growing individuals, and (b) presents a scoring method for each enthesis, which is evaluated through inter-and intra-observer comparisons. Nonadult entheses show a wide range of morphological variation. Method reproducibility is established. This method will allow researchers to further investigate factors affecting bone development in nonadult skeletal remains.KEYWORDS: Entheseal changenon-adultjuvenilesgrowth and developmentmusculoskeletalactivity markers AcknowledgmentThe authors would like to thank Dr. R.

Recent evidence, gained mainly from modern fieldwork, supports the reality of these interments, despite some counter-arguments raised based on the unorthodox location of them. Here, it is proposed that the cultural changes that occurred at the end of the Early Helladic period might have triggered sufficient psychological pressure that, in conjunction with the emergence of new societal forms, led communities to gradually accept this particular funerary practice, which had been rather marginal until then. Although the important role of metaphysical considerations is touched on here, a number of questions – primarily driven by an emotional approach – may reveal interesting paths for future research.KEYWORDS: IntramuralstratigraphykinshiphouseholdanxietyregionalityArgolidMarathon AcknowledgementsMany thanks are owned to present directors of the Marathon excavation, Prof. Yiannis Papadatos and Prof. Giorgos Vavouranakis of the National and Kapodistrian University at Athens, for allowing me to present evidence from the fieldwork, before the final publication.

This issue comprises two research papers and three book reviews as well as an obituary for Mark Golden (6 August 1948–9 April 2020), who was a member of the SSCIP Committee and Editorial Board for the journal. In the first of the research papers, Sally Waite and Emma Gooch explore the reasons for the lack of representation of motherhood on Athenian painted pottery from the fifth century BC. They note how the production and care of children was a key role for woman in ancient Athenian society and that other evidence exists which demonstrates the particularly close bonds that women had with their infants. They review images of childcare in painted pottery in an attempt to assess how women and infants are characterised in both the private and public spheres of life. They interpret the paucity of images of motherhood as evidence of the devaluation, demonisation and appropriation of mothering within the context of the patriarchal nature of fifth century Athenian society and discuss the disconnect between motherhood as an institution and mothering as an experience. The second paper by Lynne McKerr and I explores the social visibility of children in 17th and 18th century grave memorials from Ulster in the north of Ireland. The memorials included represent those of the Gaelic Irish as well as the largely Protestant settlers who came to the region during the Plantation of Ulster in the early 17th century. The frequencies and appearance of their commemorative grave memorials are explored to examine how children’s memorials may signify the religious, social and/or ethnic identity their families wished to express, in the aftermath of the major economic and cultural changes which followed the Plantation. It also investigates how, within this tense socio-political environment, distinctive familial plots may have enabled the Gaelic Irish to maintain their complex kin relationships and also been a means for settler families to establish or strengthen their social networks. We also explore how the appropriation of high status native burial grounds may have been a means of control and a powerful symbol of subjugation. The journal ends with a collection of book reviews edited by Siân Halcrow – The Medieval Changeling: Health, Childcare, and the Family Unit, by Rose A. Sawyer; The Routledge Handbook of Paleopathology, edited by Anne L. Grauer and the Oxford Textbook of the Newborn: A Cultural and Medical History, by Michael Obladen.
