Recenzii
Jane Peterson's new book provides a fresh and provocative look at the dynamic nature of gender-related roles and subsistence changes in the Levant. Her work melds archaeological data with the exciting new field of habitual activity analysis, supplying the reader with a thought-provoking contribution to both bioarchaeology and gender issues.
'Woman's work?' All too often archaeologists and anthropologists bring their cultural baggage with them into the field and laboratory, subconsciously applying gender stereotypes to the problems they are trying to solve. Going beyond the standard rubric of 'putting flesh back on the bones,' Jane Peterson's book puts real muscle into the examination of activity diversity in males and females based on markers of occupational stress that occur on excavated skeletons. Peterson's work presents a well-balanced appraisal of the current status of views of gender/sex labor roles based on archaeological sources, feminist archaeology, and anthropology.
Sexual Revolutions is superb, and, indeed, important. It has considerable significance for both general questions about the archaeology of gender and for more particular concerns about Near Eastern prehistory. Peterson presents a stimulating synthesis of theory and osteological evidence concerning the role of women in the agricultural and urban 'revolutions' of south-west Asia, with the focus on the southern Levant.
In sum, this book, the fourth book in a series on Gender and Archaeology edited by Sarah Nelson, is a gem. It introduces new hard data and judicious interpretation into a subject too often dominated by unsubstantiated but fervently held theories....it's value as a textbook: both readable and scholarly, it is a wonderful demonstration of wha science is good for. In addition to her admirably clear prose, Peterson has selected good graphic and illustrative materials.
This book is an important one that should be read by all scholars interested in issues of labor and social organization in the archaeological record. Written in a readable and accessible style, it is both a scholarly work and one that can be easily used as a case study in classes. Peterson's work points us in a direction that many other scholars may wish to pursue.
Sexual Revolutions provides a perspective on gender and labor that is made possible only from the insight gained from the study of ancient skeletons. Anthropologists have long speculated on the role of women and men in labor, especially in relation to the transition from foraging to farming. Peterson's interesting and compelling study of skeletal markers of activity gives new perspective on the dawn of agriculture and its impact on the lives and lifestyles of women and men. This book is a must read for physical anthropologists, archaeologists, and others interested human behavior, gender, and labor in this key period of human evolution.
Peterson's substantive results are intriguing.... This is an important piece of work not simply because of its substantive contribution. One of the primary contributions of this study is its skepticism.... Peterson generally makes good and valid use of ethnographic analogy, especially when it comes to materialist generalizations.
