An interest in prehistoric childhood comes on the heels of and as a necessary extension of feminist archaeology (Baxter 2008).

The subsequent cooling of the Younger Dryas forced humans to concentrate into geographic areas that had an abundant water supply and ultimately favorable conditions for the use of agriculture and widespread domestication of plants and animals.

This breaks the absolute bond between writing and human handicraft and suggests new ways of understanding the way we interpret natural phenomena.

In the end writing comes to be understood as durative, or has having duration. In this interpretation comes …
