Title:
Housewives, Warriors, and Slaves? Sex and Gender in Anglo-Saxon Burials [based on a study of two Yorkshire cemeteries, the author questions the traditional assumption of sex based on grave good assemblages of either jewelry or weapons; urges a more nuanced analysis that takes social relations, symbolism, and cultural affiliations into consideration as well as gender].
