Abstract
ABSTRACT In the Ancient Near East, written and iconographic sources, and objects found in children's graves provide insight into children material culture. Rare finds, like clay figurines, miniature carts, and unique stone objects, suggest a mix of playthings and possibly ritual items. The presence of such items in children's tombs, different from adult burials, indicates a blend of practical and emotional elements in the burial ritual. The ambiguity surrounding these objects highlights the emotional and personal aspect of children's material culture, offering avenues on the complexity of their lives.
