This silkscreen was made after I had read an article on archaeological gender studies. According to this, it often happened that the present role model was simply projected onto archaeological finds. Which is why we have the image of the hunting man and the cooking and child minding woman in our minds. Skeletons where a spear or other hunting and war weapons were found were simply declared as male although they were female. Today one begins to suspect that in many early hunting societies young women were also involved in hunting and the distribution of tasks was generally much more flexible.
