Abstract
THE FOLLOWING CONTRIBUTION WAS CONCEIVED AS A SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE INTERNATIONAL AND ROMANIAN LITERATURE ON GENDER ARCHAEOLOGY, WITH THE PURPOSE OF UNDERLINING THE IMPORTANCE OF BOTH THEORETICAL STUDIES AND CHANGE OF MENTALITIES IN ROMANIAN ARCHAEOLOGY. U SING MAINLY THE ANGLO -SAXON BIBLIOGRAPHY, I HAVE OUTLINED THE IMPORTANCE OF PERCEIVING GENDER ARCHAEOLOGY AS ANOTHER ALTERNATIVE IN DISCUSSING SOCIAL RELATIONS IN ANCIENT SOCIETIES, AND NOT AS A BIASED TOOL IN FINDING WOMEN IN THE PAST. SADLY, THE ROMANIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE SUBJECT ARE ALMOST ABSENT, BUT THERE IS A GROWING CONCERN RELATED TO GENDER RELATIONS IN THE ANCIENT WORLD, DR. NONA PALINCAȘ BEING THE FRONT (WO)MAN IN THIS DIRECTION OF STUDY.
