ABSTRACT
The year 2000 was a watershed for the archaeologies of sexuality, with the publication of a volume by the same name and an article introducing queer theory to the field. Since then, as sexuality has gained legitimacy as a topic of study in archaeology, there have been considerable advances in the field. There have also been persistent challenges. This chapter examines the effects of these advances in archaeological interpretation and our understandings of the past, as well as looking at some of the problems that remain to be solved. Finally, I look at future directions in the archaeology of sexualities.
