Product Description
This text examines the role of gender in archaeology, and represents sites and cultures that have been interpreted or reinterpreted from the perspective of gender, challenging old assumptions about women and the roles they held. The book takes the reader through a comprehensive discussion of gender archaeology in Asia, Africa, North and South America and represents societies including hunter-gatherers, early horticulturalists, incipient and well developed states, historic communities, as well as ethnoarchaeological explorations. The chapters in this work are characterized by a specificity in methods and an emergence of a social archaeology that considers the agency of both men and women.
