Archaeology is one of our most powerful sources of new information
about the past, about the lives of our ancient and not-so-ancient
ancestors. The contributors to Women in Antiquity consider the
theoretical problems involved in discerning what the archaeological
evidence tells us about gender roles in antiquity. The book
includes chapters on the history of gender research, historical
texts, mortuary analysis, household remains, hierarchy, and
ethnoarchaeology, with each chapter teasing out the inherent
difficulty in interpreting ancient evidence as well as the promise
of new understanding. Women in Antiquity offers a fresh, accessible
account of how we might grasp the ways in which sexual roles and
identities shaped the past.
