Sumario:This paper offers a reflection on the relationship between women who inhabit the communities in which we work and what we define as archaeological materialities. Along these lines, I discuss our place as researchers within communities in which, on many occasions, the experience of being a woman is different. Starting from a previous analysis of a particular type of design and the obscuring of some representations and hieroglyphics due to repeated contact with hands, I will describe a powerful relationship between women, conception, and archaeological objects and sites in the area of Luxor in the Arab Republic of Egypt. I also discuss practices and discourses of the academic community around women, past and present.
