NewScientist: Archaeologists are unearthing the most powerful women who ever lived

Archaeologists keep digging up inconvenient truths about women in prehistoric societies.

Latest findings: Ancient DNA analysis leaves no doubt that throughout prehistory women were rulers, warriors, hunters and shamans.

From Spain's Ivory Lady buried with unprecedented grave goods 5,000 years ago, to Celtic matrilineal societies in England, the evidence is piling up faster than we can revise our assumptions.

Makes you wonder what other "common knowledge" is just Victorian scholars projecting their worldview onto ancient bones.
