The workshop aims to stimulate new discussion and widen the interpretive possibilities for women's movement, by considering how biological and social relatedness were experienced in prehistory.
International participants from archaeology, anthropology and related disciplines will meet in Rome to explore how data from biological evidence and archaeological material culture can be combined, with relevance to issues of gender, identity, and kinship.
The workshop is a collaboration between The Norwegian Institute in Rome, the University of Bergen and the University of York, and is generously funded by The Wenner Gren Foundation.
Workshop organizers:
Penny Bickle (University of York) and
Daniela Hofmann (University of Bergen)
