The Status of Women in Mycenaean Culture
A study of the evidence for the status of women in the Mycenaean culture during the Late Bronze Age (c. 1500-1100 BCE). I will be investigating archaeological, bio-archaeological, and iconographic evidence to understand the socio-political differences, if any, based on age, class, and health status. I will perform an analysis of the possible significance to the current project I’ll be working on this summer at Tsoungiza.
Message To Sponsor
Thank you sincerely for your generous donation to support my research this summer. This opportunity means so much to me because I want to take what I have learned in the classroom and apply it to real Greek archaeology. I want to understand how women were viewed in ancient Greece, and this project will help me reach that goal. Thank you kindly.
