The volume Giving Voice to Silence. Material and Immaterial Evidence of the Female World and Childhood from the Coroplastic Perspective stems from the PRIN2017 The volume collects the contributions presented in the webinar entitled “Voice to the Silence. Materiality and Immateriality of the Female World and Childhood from the Coroplastic Perspective”, held on 21 and 22 September 2022 at the Institute of Cultural Heritage Sciences of the CNR. The international meeting was organized within the PRIN2017 project “Peoples of the Middle Sea. Innovation and Integration in Ancient Mediterranean (1600‐500 BC)”, with the aim of giving voice to women and children through archaeological documentation, in particular coroplastics, dated between the Bronze Age and the Hellenistic period. Despite their evident importance in ancient societies, these two human groups have often been overlooked by “official history” and in the reconstructions of their respective communities. During the webinar and in the ten contributions of the volume, therefore, the marginality of women and children was questioned, exploring their multiple roles in a diachronic and Mediterranean perspective.
