She challenges us to reconsider how we think about sex and its implications for each person. Showing the critical role of the material world in forming our experiences of and concepts about sex, this book connects archaeology firmly to contemporary studies of material culture and identity.","brand":"Joyce, Rosemary A","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52337147379986,"sku":"9780500287279","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/9238\/5846\/files\/2693653482366.jpg?v=1780434266","url":"https:\/\/hbswarehousesale.com\/products\/ancient-bodies-ancient-lives-paperback","provider":"Harvard Book Store Warehouse Sale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
