Sumario:In this article we will discuss how the notion of gender has been worked on in Brazilian archeology, from the history and major themes of our discipline. Our approach runs through pre-colonial archeology, in research ranging from bioarchaeology to archeology of symbolism (rock art, pottery, etc.); historical archeology, especially the relation of women and the material world. We conclude the discussion with a more recent picture, showing the gender debate, queer theory and theoretical and militant feminism. And since these discussions go beyond the interpretative support for human relations in the past, they are fundamental to the understanding and questioning of power and work relations present in professional and academic archeology.
