  • To Gender or not To Gender? Exploring Gender Variations through Time and Space

    Open AccessBisserka Gaydarska, Katharina Rebay-Salisbury et al.ARTICLEEuropean Journal of Archaeology2023Cited by: 10References: 11

    This article is based on an EAA session in Kiel in 2021, in which thirteen contributors provide their response to Robb and Harris's (2018) overview of studies of gender in the European Neolithic and Bronze Age, with a reply by Robb and Harris. The central premise of their 2018 article was the opposition of ‘contextual Neolithic gender’ to ‘cross-contextual Bronze Age gender’, which created uneasiness among the four co-organizers of the Kiel meeti…

  • Matrilineal kinship in Aegean prehistory

    Open AccessMaria MinaARTICLEArchaeological Dialogues2023References: 1

    In response to the article written by Sabina Cveček, it is argued that the view expressed by the author that matrilineal kinship has been 'throned' and 're-throned' in Aegean prehistory has resulted from a poor understanding of anthropological terms. It is also proposed that archaeological perspectives on matrilineal kinship cannot be 'streamlined' through the contribution of social anthropology and ethnography as both fields are plagued by their…

  • Was It a Man's World? Gender Relationships at the Transition to the Bronze Age in Cyprus

    Maria MinaARTICLENear Eastern Archaeology2016References: 8

    This article examines whether the apparently equitable gender relationships of the Chalcolithic period in Cyprus were replaced by gender inequality in the Bronze Age. The discussion critiques the axioms (assumptions, really) that underlie the idea that technological advancement brings gender inequality, while considering some of the data for gender relations in Early Bronze Age Cyprus

  • Virtual and Actual Corporealities in Bronze-Age Cyprus

    Open AccessMaria MinaARTICLELes Carnets de l ACoSt2013

    My current research constitutes an extension of my earlier studies of Neolithic and Early Bronze Age (EBA) anthropomorphic figurines of the Aegean. One of the aspects that I was particularly concerned with was the deconstruction of decorative syntheses displayed on figurines in an attempt to gain insights into the manipulation of external appearance for the construction of social identity and relationships. The representation of human form holds …

  • Carving Out Gender in the Prehistoric Aegean

    Maria MinaARTICLEJournal of Mediterranean…2009Cited by: 6

    Neolithic and Early Bronze Age anthropomorphic figurines from the Aegean have hitherto constituted separate fields of study. The present article proposes a uniform methodological strategy and theoretical perspective, aimed at uniting both sets of figurines to explore social dynamics through the study of gender. The main ideas discussed focus on the complex ways in which gender identities were constructed, the mechanisms of power negotiation, and …
