"This new textbook explores the relations between gender and archaeology, providing a highly innovative account of how material culture is used in the construction of gender. Sorensen engages with the question of how gender is materially constituted, and examines the intersection of social and material concerns from the Palaeolithic Age to the present day.".

"This illustrated textbook will be for students and scholars in archaeology, anthropology, material culture studies and women's studies."--BOOK JACKET.
