| Project Title : A Spinning Wheel Download |
| Assignment Type : Artifact |
| First Name : nicole |
| Last Name: cousins |
| Date Range: 1951-2000 |
| Why: It was interesting to investigate how many avenues an artefact could lead me down. It turned out to be a great many. |
| Summary : My artefact (a spinning wheel) can be linked to industrialisation, gender relationships, gender stereotyping, social structures, power struggles, economic conditions and changes in legislation. |
| Limitations :Limitations are purely from what I chose to include. As my research was based upon an artefact, there are definite links to material culture; my research was further limited to my culture. What I chose to include in my report is prompted by what was relevant and interesting to me. Therefore the material culture reflected in my report is influenced by, and limited to, my own culture. |
| Issues Raised : Archaeological findings of spinning artefacts can be used to hypothesise theories on our antecedents' social structure, economic conditions and gender relationships. |
