Expand description
Archaeologies of Sexuality is a timely and pioneering work. It presents a strong, diverse body of scholarship which draws on locations as varied as medieval England, the ancient Maya kingdoms, New Kingdom Egypt, prehistoric Europe, and convict-era Australia to demonstrate the challenges and rewards of integrating the study of sex and sexuality within archaeology. This book also breaks new ground by exploring a wide variety of sexual expressions in the archaeological record such as sexual violence, homosexuality and prostitution.
