Kinderbetreuung im 9.-7. Jahrhundert: Eine Untersuchung anhand der Darstellungen auf neuassyrischen Reliefs

Abstract

The Neo-Assyrian palace reliefs from the ninth to the seventh century BCE portray the care for children of all ages and both sexes primarily as a women's task. Women not only care for little children and girls, but also for older boys, who often turn to women for food and care. However, the way the relationship between children and adults is represented in these works of propaganda does not necessarily correspond directly to the social realities of the time.
