A molecular proxy for gender contrasts at the Neolithic to Bronze Age transition
The project anthropYXX proposes an archaeogenomic exploration of the status and life of women and men during the key transitional period between the Neolithic and the Bronze Age in occidental Europe, with the ambition to better understand the deep roots of gender contrasts in present-day societies. Inequalities today can be measured through economical markers, health or education levels. As these metrics are not directly accessible in prehistoric periods, alternative proxies have to be exploited to trace back the emergence of inequalities, including data from ethno-archaeology and anthropobiology, traditional isotopic analyses, or the interpretation of funerary practices and artistic…
