Archaeologist Marie-Louise Srensen specialises in the role of the young in these early societies:
考古学家玛丽路易斯斯蒂索伦森强调了早期社会里年轻人的角色:
"We know that in the early Bronze Age very few people would get older than about 25 years. Most children would not get older than 5.
在青铜时代早期,极少有人能活过二十五岁 。大部分儿童在五岁前就夭折了 。
Many, many women would die in childbirth, and a few would get very old, and these very old people might have had a very special status in the society.
很多女性难产而死,只有少数人能活到很老 。那些年龄较大的人在这样的社会里可能享有很特别的地位 。
"It's actually difficult to know whether our concept of children applies to this society, where you very quickly became a grown-up member of the community, even if you were only 10 years old, because of the average age of the communities that they lived in.
我们其实很难了解现代的儿童观念是否适用于这样的社会,由于社会的平均年龄较低,即使只有十岁的人也可能很快被当作成年人对待 。
That would mean that most people around them were teenagers, there were very few old people in this kind of society."
当时大部分人口的年龄应该都在十几岁 。
What this of course challenges, is our perceptions of age and responsibility.
这挑战了我们的年龄和责任概念 。
