{"product_id":"the-spindle-and-the-spear-nick-stoodley-9781841711171","title":"The spindle and the spear: A critical enquiry into the construction and meaning of gender in the early anglo-saxon burial rite","description":"Based on burial data from 46 Anglo-Saxon cemeteries, Nick Stoodley presents a much needed study of gender issues. A thorough investigation of the attribution of grave goods to either male or female, and of skeletal sexing, leads to a re-assessment of the assumption that weapons and tools = male, and jewellery and dress accessories = female. The author also explores the more general issue of why burial was the chosen arena for the expression of gender roles and differences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nick Stoodley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1841711179\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781841711171\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e British Archaeological Reports Oxford Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/31\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 251\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.69h x 8.27w x 0.72d","brand":"Nick Stoodley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49000487485695,"sku":"9781841711171","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-spindle-and-the-spear-nick-stoodley-9781841711171","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
