This volume in gender archaeology presents 19 articles which
confront and illuminate issues of gender in prehistory. It
considers the question of gender difference and whether it is
natural or culturally constructed. The articles here, which draw on
evidence from a wide range of geographic areas, aim to demonstrate
how all archaeological investigation can benefit from an awareness
of issues of gender. They also show how the long-term nature of
archaeological research can inform the gender debate across the
disciplines.;The book organizes this complex area into seven
sections on key themes in gender archaeology: archaeological method
and theory, human origins, division of labour, the social
construction of gender, iconography and ideology, power and social
hierarchies and new forms of archaeological narrative. It includes
section introductions which outline the history of research on each
topic and present the key points of each article. A balance of
material which rewrites women into prehistory and articles which
show how the concept of gender informs our understanding and
interpretation of the past are also included.
