        I expect better from you @BoingBoing. Many problems with how this study is being reported. Also, importantly, sex ≠ gender. And sample size.

        .@BoingBoing "... of the remains with an identifiable gender,..." You mean /sex/ here. This is mega important. Especially given the subject.

        @alisonatkin I think people say "gender" because "sex" is a naughty word. Most don't think more deeply than that.

        @alisonatkin Although they seem to be most people on the sex/gender distinction.

        @gypsybandito My theory: they were like dwarves of LOTR. Hard to tell the men from the women. Bearded & stout.

        @BoingBoing they could have been ‘male’ but society wasnt cognizant of gender choice. Or boats were 50/50 & shield maidens were in the fray
