Gender division of labour in the construction of archaeological knowledge in the United States
Archaeologists intuitively believe that they ‘discover’ knowledge more directly than scientists in other fields. In the constructivist view, however, science is not about discovery but about creativity and construction, about making order out of disorder, about the fabrication of statements that reduce noise in data, about chains of decisions and negotiations and selections that can only be made on the basis of previous selections. A constructivi…
Troubled travels in agency and feminism
This chapter describes the conceptual and real link between technology and social action has been coherently drawn in recent years. Many authors have already noted that technology is not simply a body of explicitly formulated and objectively described knowledge. Technology is one of the social processes by which individuals negotiate and define their identities, in terms of gender, age, belief, class, and so on. The anthropologist Tim Ingold has …

Programme to Practice: Gender and Feminism in Archaeology
In the past decade, archaeologists have given considerable attention to research on gender in the human past. In this review, we attempt to acknowledge much of this diverse and abundant work from an explicitly feminist perspective. We focus on reviewing a selection of approaches to gender that are anchored to specific theoretical standpoints. In addition, we highlight several approaches that challenge an archaeology of gender that does not explic…

Engendering Tomb 7 at Monte Alban: Respinning an Old Yarn [and Comments and Reply]
Excavation Bias and the Woman at Home Ideology
Feasts and females: Gender ideology and political meals in the Andes
Similarities between two related socio‐historic contexts are used to analyze gender relations in the Early Intermediate Period (EIP) in Perú. Women's traditional roles as preparers and servers of food are described on the basis of archaeological finds from Queyash Alto. Women's participation in ritual political feasts transformed, symbolically defined and publicly affirmed gender relations in ways that were essential to the emergence of political…

Socio-Politics and the Woman-at-Home Ideology
Archaeologists, as explorers and discoverers, have maintained the myth of objective research far longer than have researchers in other social science disciplines. Focused on action, the 'cowboys of science' (Alaskan bumper sticker 1981) have dabbled little in self-reflective criticism.Now at 50, however, the discipline is becoming aware that our notions of the past, our epistemologies, our research emphases, the methods we employ in our research,…
Analysis of Artifact Shape Using Fourier Series in Closed Form
Standardized, quantified characterization of artifact shape is still problematic insofar as both intuitive shape typologies and multivariate analyses of shape attributes are limited to narrowly defined classes of artifacts exhibiting homologous morphological landmarks. The Fourier series in closed form is introduced as a mathematical description of irregular, two-dimensional shape, where the relative contributions of 20 standard components of sha…
