| Popis | New insights into the experiences of gender and kinship in Central-European Early Neolithic communities have been recently approached in recent years from different methods, such as isotopic analysis, DNA, use-wear analysis or osteology. As a result, these communities have been related to early signs of patrilocal exogamic practices, gender-differentiated demographic and dietary patterns, sexual division of labour, and interpersonal violence. These proposals have as a common denominator a high level of internal dynamism as farming spread through Central Europe. Though some general patterns can be identified across the main Linearbandkeramik area, questions as to heterogeneous gender identities and whether or not generalized patterns apply everywhere remain debated. This presentation aims to explore the presence of patrilocality and its possible consequences regarding women’s quality of life and female gender construction within the first European farming communities of south-eastern Moravia (Czech Republic and Slovakia). Specifically, new data on the mobility (87Sr/86Sr & ?18O) and the dietary patterns (?13C & ?15N) of some of the most well-known Linearbandkeramik funerary contexts of this area will be presented, considering the differences on grounds of sex and gender. The role of temporality in the analysis of these proxies will also be approached through Bayesian Modelling of new sets of 14C dates, in order to examine if certain patterns could be related to some kind of temporal framework on an intra-inter-site level. |
