Abstract: | Early gender archaeology formulated two statements: men are visible, women are invisible, and men work in hard materials,
women work in soft materials. We discuss these dichotomies in connection with nineteenth-century folklore and an excavated
eighteenth-century cottage at a summer-farm. We conclude that much of the gendered order-of-work tasks broke down in pragmatic
day-to-day life, especially by women crossing the gender border. However, social chaos was held at bay by ritual acts and
magic objects. |
