Abstract
Initially, feminist archeology developed a critique to dominant or mainstream archeology. Rooted on personal experience of sexism in professional practice it was aimed at transforming it. In this paper, we reflect on the reasons that hinder the relationship between feminist and mainstream archaeology, considering discrepancies present in the internal logic that guides each of them. Likewise, we provide a brief historical overview of the development of feminist archaeology in Spain, and a more detailed account of two approaches: maintenance activities and the socio-historical construction of male and female selves. In our view, both of them embody feminist thinking at odds with mainstream archaeology.Downloads
