商品簡介
Hays-Gilpin (archaeology, ceramic analysis, and rock art; Northern Arizona U.-Flagstaff) introduces gender and feminism to those who love rock art, and introduces rock art to those who study gender arrangements, thus moving along the intersect of what she admits are two of the most marginal topics imaginable to archaeologists today. She discusses why she thinks studying gender arrangements of the past is interesting; why feminism provides a useful way of thinking about people in the past and the texts that have been written about them; and why feminism is not at all about burning bras.

作者簡介
Kelley Hays-Gilpin teaches archaeology, ceramic analysis, and a rock art course at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, just hours from Petrified Forest National Park and her favorite rock art. She received her PhD in anthropology at the University of Arizona in 1992, then worked for the Navajo Nation Archaeology Department for several years. She has co-authored books on prehistoric sandals of northern Arizona and pottery of Arizona's Puerco Valley, and co-edited the Reader in Gender Archaeology with David S. Whitley. Current projects include collaboration with the Museum of Northern Arizon, Harvard Peabody Museum, and the Hopi Tribe on the Southwest Mural Project, a multidisciplinary study of 15th-17th century dry fresco painting from the Puebloan region.
