Sounds like an interesting line of research but what would the archaeological evidence look like?

Update. "Citation counts [for female authors] are on average 5.5% lower than those of comparable male authors…Papers produced by all-female teams receive 56.7% fewer citations than those by all-male teams, while mixed-gender teams achieve a 30.9% citation advantage."

Ein bewegender Moment: Am 14. Februar 2026 gedenken wir der Museumsdirektorin Gertrud Dorka, die vor 50 Jahren in Berlin verstarb. Dieses Jahr haben wir eine ganz besondere Nachricht: Danka Metz, eine engagierte Forscherin in Berlin, hat nach langer Suche das Grab von Gertrud Dorka auf dem Friedhof in Wilmersdorf entdeckt. Dies ist das Ergebnis einer intensiven Zusammenarbeit mit dem Archiv des Museums für Vor- und Frühgeschichte Berlin. Mehr dazu in unserem Blog https://aktarcha.hypotheses.org/11191

A new archaeological exhibition at #Berlin​'s James-Simon-Gallery just opened, showing our finds from #GöbekliTepe and other #TasTepeler sites never before seen outside Urfa officially - and it's spectacularly well worth the visit:

And for me, well for me it's also a great opportunity for a reunion, finally, with my old pal #UrfaMan! 🙌

If you're searching Mastodon, there are special phrases called "operators" that you can include to narrow down your search. For example, if you just want to search your own posts you can include the operator from:me alongside your keywords.

There's a complete guide to searching Mastodon including a list of all the operators at:

➡️ https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-search-for-stuff-on-mastodon

You can combine several operators in one search to narrow it even further, or include a minus sign - to exclude stuff.

A team of five women analysed how #conference participation as a source of economic, social, and cultural capital has been distributed between 2002 and 2024 during the annual meetings of the Society of American #Archaeology. They found that #gender remains a strong factor of who is invited to more prestigious roles.

Update. A letter to the editor about a study I posted to this thread 11/23/25: "The suggestion that [the lower #retraction rate for women] is because male researchers undergo more scrutiny, propose bolder ideas and lead larger and more dynamic teams than do female researchers implies that male scientists are better at science. As female scientists, our lived experience points to alternative explanations: elevated rigour and scientific integrity by female scientists or more critical peer review of female-led manuscripts."

"Drawing on decades of scholarship, Spectrum of Desire opens up new ways of seeing the past through stirring works of art that inspire us to think more expansively about people who lived in the Middle Ages, their relationships, and the artworks they produced."

Just when I'm trying not to buy any more art books.
Oh well... What's one more at this point?

Following up the grey matter loss, associating #menopause to Alzheimer's, here's a pretty revealing survey about the sources of stress and pressures experienced by menopausal women in UK society

@danielmipne I'm also thinking of the way Hadza women tell stories, sitting in a group where they will be collectively remembering, adding in a bit, adding another. If an elder tells it and speaks about one mythical monster mother, someone may say, 'no it's such and such ..' or track back if the story sequence jumps unexpectedly. Extraordinary in Hadza stories, especially about the monster mothers who the women love, is that their names, characters and peculiarities (for consuming sons-in-law) are interchangeable across stories. And this is perfectly consonant with the Hadza themselves who rotate their names regularly depending on social contexts and who they're talking to. It's the exact opposite of western-style bureaucracy that has to nail everyone down on one particular identity.

Hadza and hunter-gatherers have more fluidity in cosmology and kinship, connecting names and generations on all sides. The Western science approach to some older person saying: 'you know, thingummy, can't remember their name now...' but they know perfectly well, who it is, their history, relationships, and the surrounding context provides it immediately through sharing of specific detail. So even that supposed 'loss of memory' of names is a channel for transmission of knowledge.

Reevaluating Hand Stencil Phenomena in Cave Art: A Step Forward towards the Characterization of Symbolic Patterns during the Upper #Palaeolithic in Europe.
Palaeolithic art offers a unique window into understanding prehistoric societies. Thus, the iconography, techniques and stylistic features of the Upper Palaeolithic form the basis of research and are potentially valuable sources of information about cultural and knowledge exchange networks.
