I recently saw an archeologist talk about this very thing. His conclusion: archeology actually takes great pains to infer gender roles based on artifacts and cultural context, not merely bones. Some ancient peoples had wildly different conceptions of gender than us, which often don’t align with biological sex. “We don’t dead name the dead” he said.

While it does sound plausible, can we please not make Tiktok an acceptable source?
I guess you could say they were more advanced in some ways then, than we are now lol.
That’s a great video, though I personally wish it was a full video and not a Tiktok.
