Feminist archaeology - Definition and Overview

Feminist archaeology is an approach to studying ancient societies by critiquing what its practitioners perceive as an androcentric bias both in many past civilisations and also in modern archaeological study. They attempt to rectify it by producing new interpretations that promote a greater role for women in the past than that which has been traditionally attributed.
