Abstract
There is an emerging consensus from isotopic and aDNA studies
that throughout the Neolithic, women tended to experience
greater mobility over their lifetime than men, and that this is
consistent with patrilocal practices. However, what this means
for the differing experiences of women in these societies is only
beginning to be addressed. Taking our cue from anthropological
studies on the diversity of kinship constructions and the differences
in female post-marital status in patrilocal societies, we
re-investigate evidence for Linearbandkeramik (LBK) household
relations and cemetery burial to show the potential for more
diverse narratives.
