Another passion of mine is the history of #Çatalhöyük site - and whether or not it had a #MatriachalSociety!
Ancient city possibly ruled by females living in a "matriarchal society" more than 9,000 years ago, researchers say
By Cara Tabachnick
June 28, 2025Excerpt: "We need to move away from our Western bias that assumes all societies are #patrilineal. Many cultures, including some #IndigenousAustralian groups, pass identity, land rights, and responsibilities through the mother's line — a #matrilineal system,' study co-author Dr. Eline Schotsmans, a research fellow at Australia's University of Wollongong's School of Science, said in a statement.
"These findings come several months after researchers studying social networks in #CelticSociety in Britain before the #RomanInvasion gathered genetic evidence from a late Iron Age cemetery and found that women were closely related, while unrelated men tended to come into the community from elsewhere, likely after marriage.
"Using an examination of ancient DNA recovered from 57 graves in #Dorset in southwest England, their study, published in the journal Nature, shows that two-thirds of the individuals were descended from a single maternal lineage. This suggests that women had some control of land and property, as well as strong social support, researchers said.
"Researchers said upon the release of their findings, 'It is possible that maternal ancestry was the primary shaper of group identities.' "

Women's rights in Greece and Rome were more of my specialty -- especially ancient Greece. And yes, all this was how it was -- women had few rights under #Athenian #patriarchy.
#LegalStatus of Women in #Ancient Greece
Women were dependent on fathers, husbands, or #kyroi (appointed guardians). They could not own property, and were considered wards of their fathers or kyroi.
In #500BCE, fathers could sell their unmarried daughters “who had lost their #virginity” (Blundell, 69) into slavery.
“#Inheritance was #patrilineal” (Blundell, 66) – even if a daughter was the only child, she could not inherit her father’s property – it would be passed down to “her sons” (Blundell, 66), or “more distant [male] relatives” (Blundell, 66).

#Meghalaya is a #MatrilinealSociety . In terms of #ancestral #descent , the #kinship system is #traced through the #maternal instead of paternal line, unlike other parts of the world.
#India is largely a #patrilineal country, but this state of the North East differs.
The #culture of Meghalaya brings to its people, a #different #lifestyle where #lineage & #inheritance are traced through #women w/ children being part of the #mother ’s kinship group...
