Gender Archaeology by Stig Sorensen Marie Louise

Gender Archaeology by Stig Sorensen Marie Louise

This major new textbook explores the relations between gender and archaeology, providing an innovative and important account of how material culture is used in the construction of gender.

'This book is of the highest intellectual quality, carefully argued in a non-confrontational toneSørenson's emphasis on what archaeology can contribute to the social science discussion about gender is a refreshing change from much of the existing literature on the topic.' Elizabeth Scott, Zooarch Research

'For a penetrating analysis of the state of gender archaeology today, and an extended discussion of the ways in which archaeology can best contribute to understanding gender, this book is extremely important ... Clear and cogent, this book will be of interest to all archaeologists because of its emphasis on the materiality of gender.' Journal of Anthropological Research

'This is not just another book about the history or nature of gender archaeology or the problems associated with making women visible in the past. The author addresses these subjects, but also contributes both theoretical insights into defining gender and practical approaches to excavating "gendered" objects ... Although engendering the archaeological record is a complex endeavor, she documents ways in whch it is an achievable goal. Her book is thorough, well footnoted and well argued.' Choice
