This finding challenges traditional assumptions about gender-specific roles in ancient Greek society, highlighting that women could hold specialized craft positions typically attributed to men.
[6] Through these studies, Dr. Agelarakis emphasizes the importance of integrating archaeological findings with historical and literary records to gain a comprehensive understanding of gender dynamics and symbolic representations in ancient cultures.
His work primarily explores: Bio-Archaeology and Forensics: Investigating the biological profiles, demographics, and paleopathological records of human skeletal populations from prehistoric times to the late medieval period.
Ethnography and Ethnohistory: Studying the cultural traditions of shepherding and mixed agricultural communities in Crete, as well as the conditions faced by Byzantine populations after the Fourth Crusade’s sack of Constantinople in 1204.
Through this initiative, Dr. Agelarakis aims to protect and analyze anthropological findings, contributing to a deeper understanding of human history and cultural heritage.
