Matrilineal Kinship in Aegean Prehistory: Settlements, Figurines, and the Absence of Men
Matrilineal Kinship in Aegean Prehistory: Settlements, Figurines, and the Absence of Men
Dr. Sabina Cvecek, Field Museum, Austrian Academy of Sciences
National AIA Lecture
Were communities in prehistoric Greece matriarchal, matrilineal, or simply centered around women? In this talk, Dr. Cveček revisits that long-standing question, exploring what different types of archaeological evidence—from settlement patters to figurine use—can reveal about gender and family life in the Neolithic and Early Bronze Age Aegean.
