In a show to kick off a new season, we explore the rise of women archaeologists – and how they are helping to transform our understanding of ancient societies. In the last 30 years, women have come to make up more than half of the profession. At the same time, advances in technology – from DNA analysis to carbon dating – are allowing archaeologists to build a far more accurate picture of the past. And sometimes, that means questioning assumptions that have existed for generations. Annette Young meets three women archaeologists working in France, Sandra Sicard, Rozenn Colleter and Rebecca Peake who are doing just that; using new evidence and new perspectives to challenge long-held assumptions about the lives of people in ancient societies. #archaeology #women #France Read more about this story in our article: https://f24.my/C8jL.y 🔔 Subscribe to France 24 now: https://f24.my/YTen 🔴 LIVE - Watch FRANCE 24 English 24/7 here: https://f24.my/YTliveEN 🌍 Read the latest International
