Fixed and Fluid: The Two Faces of Gender Roles—A Combined Study of Activity Patterns and Burial Practices in the European Neolithic

The findings suggest that society at Csőszhalom was structured around gendered roles, yet allowed for individual variation. While the limited number of individuals and the inherent uncertainty in interpreting activity markers call for caution, this study enhances our understanding of prehistoric social organization by revealing both recurring sex-related patterns of behavior and local flexibility in the expression of gender roles.

Abstract

The findings suggest that society at Csőszhalom was structured around gendered roles, yet allowed for individual variation. While the limited number of individuals and the inherent uncertainty in interpreting activity markers call for caution, this study enhances our understanding of prehistoric social organization by revealing both recurring sex-related patterns of behavior and local flexibility in the expression of gender roles.
