Mandan jar with paddle marks & buckskin handle from the Dakotas (Holmes 1903, Plate 175b). Holmes says that dried mush was caked in the bottom.

Children of the Ice Age

"For more than 200 years, children have been neglected by archaeologists. It was part of a disciplinary bias towards adult men in archaeological interpretations. This began to change in the 1970s and ’80s with the rise of feminist archaeology and the archaeology of gender..." cgc373 posted Aeon Magazine's article by April Nowell.
