Just finished the introduction and grateful for every word and what I have learned.So many interesting parallels to the New Kingdom Egyptian colonialism in Nubia. We have no indigenous sources by Nubians but we can ask the right questions to Egyptian sources and read between the lines as you did.🙏

Thank you ❤️

Since then I saw the booklet on the tables of many colleagues worldwide.
Our message is clear, if you want things to change you need to be loud and reach out! This is just the first step!

The project was conceived and initiated during the pandemic in 2020 and the booklet was published with @sidestone.bsky.social Press in 2021 with German translation coming out soon! Open Access

You are welcome.The movement is supported by the EAA organizers as also stated during the opening ceremony.The situation has somewhat transformed since the format change.Now most of the protests are on the streets and citizen led.Some universities started working.

No. The conference is not online because the organizers were concerned about unrest. In fact, the conference was moved online because university buildings, where the meeting was planned, are blocked by students who are protesting against the Serbian government and have full support.

Last but not least, the thematic intersection of gender and violence in the past goes way beyond identifying #warriorwomen! We will study them too, if we find them.

Historical disciplines such as #Egyptology nicely demonstrate that a person does not have to actually fight in order to be involved with the military campaigns, again, whichever gender the person might have had.

It takes more work to identify if the weapons were used (e.g., use and ware analyses) and if the person actually physically fought (e.g., skeletal markers of occupational stress).

#Weapons in a grave do not make a #warrior,whatever #gender they might have had or whatever gender they were ascribed to by the community that burried them.
