Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
the author discusses the use by archaeologists (feminist or otherwise) of biologically sexed human remains to make inferences about cultures' conceptions of gender, arguing that creating an easy link between `sex' and `gender' is not without problems. She points out that recent debates within the social sciences have centred on the evolving, historical definition and cultural relevance of both of these terms, but that skeletal analysts' voices have tended to be silent in this debate. She asks what paradigmatic changes in feminist and queer theorizing mean for burial analysis, and to answer this question, advocates a bioarchaeological approach that facilitates reconciliation of biological classifications, cultural constructions of gender and feminist theories on `sex' and `gender'. The pre-Columbian Maya are discussed as an example | ||
