Abstract
Research on archaeology of gender from a feminist perspective is reviewed. It is observed that archaeology that takes a feminist theory is formational and communal where radical reappraisals emerge and is guided by a vision that has no fixed end points to be achieved by a standardized set of rules. Centrality of feminist thought remade the notions of archaeology as a science by striving to increase the visibility of human agency in knowledge production and organizing archaeological field projects in less hierarchical fashions.
