CALENDAR 2021 Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday Memories of Urkeatin. Birth, life and death in Iberian societies (2020) emerges as a dynamic educational resource for understanding the archaeology of everyday life. This work is focused on the tasks performed by the least visible members of society in the 1 2 3 historical narrative. Urkeatin, a woman who lived at the end of the 3rd century BC in South-East Iberia, narrates her life and times from the perspective of her own 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 experiences, from childhood through adolescence and maturity and her memories of war and death. http://hdl.handle.net/10261/222494 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 Publication de Archaeology and the Study of Gender de Margaret Conkey et Janet Spector 1984 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 JANUARY2021 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 CO-EDUCATION allows the construction of a critical perspective by contrast to the Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday traditional androcentric discourse, something which has led to the disappearance of women from conventional historical narratives. In addition, this discourse has 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 International day of zero tolerance produced the creation of current gender stereotypes in the collective imagination. The for female genital mutilation visual representation of women in hominid evolution, not only contributes to the 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 creation of female cultural references from the remote past, but moreover, eliminates International day of Women and Girls in Science the idea of the historical nature of gender inequalities as well as the false concept of patriarchal order. 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 FEBRUARY2021 After the first visual representations made by Neanderthal groups, we see the appearance of new artistic expressions such as musical instruments (bone flutes), paintings or engravings. These first appear in Europe 35.000 years ago, on the cave walls of Altamira (Santander), or on stone tablets, such as in the cave of Parpalló (Gandia, Valencia). These visual representations reveal a complex symbolic world associated with the life ways of these societies.

University of Granada 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday The day-to-day work of the first Neolithic farming communities was characterized by a wide variety of activities. These agricultural societies shared communal work spaces and a diverse array of maintenance tasks. 2 3 4 In archaeological sites such as the Cova Gran (5000-3000 a. C.) (Lleida), we find traces of such activities, for example, a hearth with evidence of a 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 International day for tripod structure for hanging a cooking pot as well other small structures maternal health and rights related to quotidian life in the cave. 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 International day against child slavery 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 APRIL 2021 26 27 28 29 30 Community identity is constructed through the use of tattoos and other bodily Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday decorations as well as through decorative ornaments. For example, at the Neolithic site of the cave of El Toro (Antequera, Málaga, 5240 - 4800 a. C.), we see a wide 2 representation of personal ornamentation, bead necklaces and bracelets made from a variety of materials such as shell, stone, and bone. These artefacts show an impressive control and knowledge of technical processes. The presence of remains of almagra (a 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 International Day type of red ochre) in some ornaments is probably related to body painting made with of the Midwife this pigment. It is probable that the decorative motives were similar to those used in ceramic decoration of this period. 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Publication of The Second Sex 25 26 27 28 29 30 by Simone de Beauvoir 31 MAY 20211949 In the ancient world, urban spaces became places where gender, age, legal status or Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday work implicated differences between members of society and, as a consequence, represented different personal experiences. In the accompanying image we see a 1 2 3 4 5 6 particular focus on childhood and social diversity in the urban contexts. Free little girls are playing with their dolls, while possibly contemplating the day when the dolls will be presented to the goddess. In another part of the image, we see a slave collecting 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 water and some poor young people who are working to help their families. The scenes are derived from archaeological observations from the city of Herculano (Italia).

In the accompanying image the representation of human hands may suggest a collective identity as well as emphasizing knowledge and belief systems as part of group socialization. Within a sacred space, a pregnant woman is perhaps reflecting on the future of her children. Research on Upper Palaeolithic representations in French and Spanish sites (30.000-12.000 B.P) has shown that more than half of the images of impressed human hands belong to women and children. For example, in the cave of Fuente del Trucho (Huesca), we see that most of the hands were impressions made by children and infants.

Studies of paleo-skeletal material shows that some people were able to survive only because they were cared for by other members of the social group. Empathy, solidarity, and cooperation were important characteristics of these prehistoric communities specially in relation to 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 socialization. In particular, cooperation between people in everyday tasks, was important in producing social networks specially in the communication of technical skills and in environmental knowledge. 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 AUGUST 2021 30 31 Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday Some 3.000 years ago, urban life began to appear in the north of the Iberian Peninsula. People lived in semi-detached rectangular houses arranged in 1 2 3 4 International5 day rows. Everyday domestic activities were organised both inside and outside the of Indigenous Women houses. The streets were not only places of passage but were also spaces of work and leisure activities. This kind of communal interactions has lasted for 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 centuries in the small villages and towns of the Mediterranean region. 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 23 20 21 22 International day against Sexual 24 25 26 Exploitation and Human Trafficking of Women and Children SEPTEMBER2021 27 28 29 30 Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday Around 12.000 years ago, in the final stages of the Upper Palaeolithic, human societies maintained themselves through hunting, fishing, and gathering, 1 2 3 profiting from available environmental resources. This is confirmed in the archaeological record by the remains of deer, goats, rabbits, hares, birds, fish, shellfish as well as vegetal resources. This resource exploitation was carried 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 out by all members of the group, according to their age and capacity. The subdiscipline of ethnoarchaeology help us to better understand the 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 variety of behaviours related to hunting, fishing, and gathering.

A good example comes from the Copper Age necropolis at Los Millares 1992 1 workshop on archaeology and women in Spain in The Theoric Archaeology Meeting, Santiago de Compostela (Santa Fe de Mondújar, Almería, 3200-2200 BC), where archaeological research demonstrates how mortuary practices were carried out in collective megalith 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 tombs, with careful selection of ritual objects and offerings.

For example, it is possible to know something of the complex processes related to the use of plants, resins, minerals, and animal products. In addition, evidence suggest that they used water from sacred spaces, in conjunction with the mediation and knowledge of the people in charge of cult practices.

A good example is the miniature tools related to the process of spinning. It is probable that older women taught young girls how to spin wool into balls, later be used to make blankets, outdoor clothing, and other types of textiles. This involved learning how to move the hands and arms, and how to manipulate the spindle with agility. Clearly this would have been an important experience for young girls learning the process of textile weaving.
