Hello,
While there appears to be a growing trend to study childhood, I have not been able to find much work on the archaeology of the elderly. In connection what do / should we call a study of people in their later years? {Try searching archaeology and old in the same query!} Can we really study the elderly though material culture (non osteoarchaeology) or can we only study the process of aging? Any thoughts and points in the right direction would be helpful.
Yours,
Melonie Shier
