The Bioarchaeology of Socio-Sexual Lives is a scholarly book that explores the complex and diverse aspects of past socio-sexual lifestyles. Through the examination of bioarchaeological remains, the work investigates how cultural and historical contexts have shaped perceptions and practices of gender and sexuality. The case studies range from the Neolithic period in Europe to pre-Columbian Mesoamerica and into the 19th century in the United States. The book challenges common assumptions about universal aspects of sex, gender, and sexuality, highlighting the often inadequate representation of past socio-sexual identities in modern Western society. By integrating critical feminist and queer studies, it fosters a deeper understanding of human diversity and the cultural constructions of sexuality. Readers are invited to reflect on the portrayal of the past in mass media and the naturalization of culture.
