Engendering Archaeology

Engendering archaeology is an approach that examines how gender identities, roles, and relationships shape past societies. It seeks to understand how gender influenced archaeological findings, such as artifacts, burials, and social structures, by considering diverse gender experiences rather than assuming a male-centric view. This perspective highlights the contributions and experiences of women and marginalized groups, providing a more comprehensive and nuanced understanding of history. Overall, engendering archaeology enriches our interpretation of the past by recognizing the importance of gender in shaping human societies.
