Sex/Gender Roles in Prehistory Academic Lecture Dr Rietveld/Ipso Facto May 2024

"Archaeological Evidence Of Sex & Gender Roles In Prehistory: Unraveling The Myths Behind Relations Between Men And Women During The Paleolithic, Neolithic, And Chalocolithic Age (2.6 Million to 3000 BCE) " Zoom Talk by Dr. James Rietveld originally presented on Thursday, May 9, 2024.
So often we are confronted by references to Patriarchy or Matriarchy, a duality that appears prevalent as old as the time humanity first became aware of their surroundings.
Often the supposition is that Patriarchy was always dominant as a rule. Of course, others will say matriarchies dominated the earliest peoples and how they organized their societies at first.
But who is correct, and what does the archaeological evidence have to contribute to this conversation?
This question from ancient times has divided scholars as well as others for decades (one example being the controversy over Marija Gimbutas’ views), for to answer this question is to reveal a deeper sense of who we are and how we relate to one another even today.
We will explore the answer to this question directly from an academic point of view, so that you will leave this lecture armed with direct evidence as opposed to assumptions that can fundamentally change your understanding of sex and gender in the past and, yes, even in the present as well.
