Historical archaeology and gender perspectives in 16th-19th century southern Chile by Cambridge Archaeology published on 2018-12-04T14:58:50Z Originally aired on the Café Philippi radio programme at the Universidad Austral de Chile, Dr Beatriz Marin-Aguilera (Renfrew Fellow, McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research, University of Cambridge)talks about historical archaeology and gender perspectives in the area of Valdivia, southern Chile, in the 16th-19th centuries. She focuses specifically on how imposed violence on indigenous bodies alienated them, especially in the production of textiles in colonial textile workshops. The Spaniards forced men to work in the workshops, but not women, even though textile production was always a female activity within Reche (today Mapuche) communities.
