Beyond human: The materiality of personhood

No / Archaeological research has been influenced by feminist thought and critique for
decades. In the early 1990s, new narratives began to be written about the past.
Starting with a search for women and gendered identities in our prehistories, these
have developed into a new way of understanding the relationships between people,
objects and animals, both in the past and in the present. Archaeological research
has been concerned with the relationships between the ‘human’ and the ‘other’ for a
number of decades, whether they involve nonhuman animals, objects we use and
create, or attitudes to the landscape and environment. The nonhuman, in other
words, is central to our work. We hope in this piece to demonstrate the contribution
archaeological insights could make to feminist theorising about the
nonhuman.
