Describing the parameters of feminist archaeology since the 1970"s when scholars in socio-cultural anthropology and other ields began new theoreical, historical, and and cross-cultural research on gender. Criics across the anthropological disciplines believe that percepions and experiences of women have been ignored. Author thinks that throughout history the understanding of past cultures is more androcentric. As the issues of excluding groups from the producion and distribuion of knowledge the author begins thinking about the litle rapids. General introducion to what the paper will be about. Secion one: the audience that this aricle is aimed at is other archaeologists, whereas other aricles in anthropology are more aimed at possibly other male archaeologists and discussing or proving a theory instead of criicising anthropology and the disciplines. Men killed and huning and women were gatherers/did everything else. Previously tried to tackle the view of a male dominated society/culture (her story) Saisied because it gave her the funcion she was looking for.
