Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"Slowly the record is being set straight. Here is a fine collection of essays that help fill the gender gap in the history of archaeological practice."—Choice
"This volume represents an important contribution to the growing literature about the relationships between gender and the theory and practice of archaeology. . . . Claassen has moved well beyond a too-heavy focus on argument by assertion to the production of well-thought-through analyses of primary data."—British Journal of the History of Science
