Description
Book SynopsisPart One of Nelson''s ''Handbook of Gender in Archaeology.''
Trade ReviewA brilliant addition to the archaeological literature. Sarah Nelson has commissioned an international group of scholars to assess the state of gender research in their areas of expertise. The result is a treasure trove of essays devoted to theoretical assessments and case studies involving themes that are central to archaeology, such as early domestication, the secondary products revolution, gender identities, landscape studies, mortuary analyses, and much, much more. These essays introduce new perspectives and future directions for research, thus providing readers with models for developing their own projects. The book is indispensable for anyone with serious interests in the organization of society, divisions of labor, and the social dynamics of the human past. -- Rita Wright, New York University
