Abstract
The article is an attempt of a comprehensive approach to consider the role of toys and replicas of working tools made for children, as well as gradual involvement of children in adult family and social relations, up to the military service, and to analyze the features of children’s funerary rites and nutrition systems. The research is based on the archaeological collections from the city of Tara and the Russian settlements of the 17th—18th centuries in the Tara Irtysh region, materials from other archaeological sites of Western Siberia, written sources and ethnography of childhood. The researchers offer a model of how children were brought up in the Siberian society in the 17th—18th centuries, from birth to adulthood.
