Travels into Thirdspace: The Archaeological Heritage of Children's Spaces. A View from Beyond

Abstract

This paper is an inquiry into the relationships between children's spaces of the past and the revisited archaeological heritage of childhood in landscapes and museums to represent the past in the present. The cultural heritage perspective of living with archaeological heritage in landscapes and environments is explored together with the cultural heritage slogan of knowledge, experience and use. Thirdspace epistemology and modelling is applied to approach children's locations in the landscape. Unsolved matters of hybridisation, elusive spaces between children and adult worlds in the past, and recirculation and reduction of archaeological evidence into non-places in the present are discussed. Heritage programmes, as well as research and excavation projects, that prioritise childhood perspectives and list children's spaces that have been located in the landscape at the level of world archaeological heritage are recommended.
