Summary: A fantastic sex study
Review: Archaeogender is probably the most profound study on gender in archaeology available. Every subject discussed is completely researched, yet it is presented in a witty and engaging style. How we are defined by society is something I had not seriously understood until now. This book is profoundly important!

Summary: An incredible study of sex through the ages!
Review: Dr. Gosline wrote the most provocative study of sex and culture that I have ever read. This is an incredible study that has something for everyone. It begins with a detailed evaluation of feminist and queer theory. Then I was led through a series of fascinating case studies. They not only reveal how gender roles are created in every society, but also provide a key to decoding the symbols that define those roles. This is an amazing theoretical work and practical guide to the Natufians of prehistoric Israel, ancient Egypt, India, Nigeria and even China. The research is as flawless as the conclusions are profound!
