Document Summary
These paintings usually have to do with power and women: colour symbolism. Women: white/pale= indoors: grave good/ burial practices. The more socially significant the person is the more stuff that got buried with them. Cosmetics/household items = men: ian hodder. After reanalyzing the data this team found that the figurines tell us something different. Less than 10% depict women and most depict animals. Most people that are sculpted are amorphous/ no sex shows. But in a later phase of site. The last 1000 years the site was occupied. Stress markers- no major distinctions in activities. Soot in lungs- male/female equally exposed indoors to smoke. No- statistical variation in diet between women and men. Apparently shared diets (no man the hunter/ meat consumer) The grave goods reflect of individuals not. Significance generic roles (cid:1) (cid:1: gender can be explored in the past, integration of multiple lines of evidence.
