Abstract

Almost thirty years have passed since gender studies entered archaeologicaldiscourse in earnest. What is the current status of gender research? How arethe theoretical and analytical insights from feminisms used within archaeo-logical research? Have these insights been adapted to the archaeologicaldiscipline, have they been developed and deepened? What about other sub- jects in academia, academic disciplines close to archaeology, how have fem-inist theories and methods developed here? Can archaeologists find stimula-tion there, or is it time for archaeology to find new prominent figures and/or new inspirational theories? If the latter, what would they be?This book does not answer these questions fully. However, one of its goals isto contribute to the answers, and hopefully also shed some light on the pastsand possible futures of gender research within archaeology.
