People have processed hides for mundane, exchange, and ritual items since the earliest paleolithic cultures, yet the highly gendered nature of these activities remains obscured in archaeological research. Editors Lisa Frink and Kathryn Weedman have assembled a collection of diverse essays that take gender as a central point of orientation in hide production processes and reflect on their vast geographical and temporal range, injecting the critical cultural variable of gender into our archaeological interpretations. Chapters include ethnohistoric and ethnographic research among mobile and sedentary populations of North America, the Arctic, and Africa and their applications for understanding prehistoric, protohistoric, and contact period settings. This text will prove enlightening to researchers of archaeology , anthropology, and gender studies, as well as those interested in division of labor research.

Many Faces of Gender is an interdisciplinary volume that addresses the dearth in descriptions and analyses of gender roles and relationships in Native societies in North America's boreal reaches. This collection complements existing conceptual frameworks and develops new methodological and theoretical approaches that more fully articulate the complex nature of social, economic, political, and material relationships between indigenous men and women in this region.The contributors challenge the widespread notion that Native women's and men's roles are frozen in time, a concept precluding the possibility of differently constructed gender categories and changing power relations and roles through time. By examining the prehistorical, historical, and modern records, they demonstrate that these roles are not fixed and have indeed gradually transformed.Many Faces of Gender is ideal for anthropologists and archaeologists interested in cross-disciplinary studies of gender, households, women, and lithics.
