In pursuit of gender : worldwide archaeological approaches

The contributors to this volume examine the role of gender in archaeology. The chapters represent sites and cultures that have been interpreted or reinterpreted from the perspective of gender, exploding old assumptions about women and the roles they held. The regions they explored are Asia, Africa, and North and South America. Societies represented include hunter-gatherers, early horticulturalists, incipient and well-developed states, and historic communities
