Product Description
Gendered activities have long been overlooked and understudied in archaeology. Women & Men in the Prehispanic Southwest takes a ground breaking look at gendered actvities in prehistory and the differential access that women and men had to sources and symbols of power and prestige. The authors--including some of the most prominent archaeologists in the Southwest--present invaluable methodological and theoretical case studies that take a great step forward in researchers' ability to read gender in the evidence left behind by ancient societies. Archaeological interpretation is enhanced and critiqued in a summary discussion by a prominent Southwestern ethnologist and feminist anthropologist.
