• Resumen

  • An analysis of the role of women in different rituals of life and death of the canarian indigenous society is carried out through written sources in addition to sorne archaeological records.

    We establish as a hypothesis, that it is a social sector with little mention in these written sources, where the definition of political action, the power structure and the public sphere is much more relevant than the domestic world, the "day by day" or the aspect of mentalities. We understand that with a more comprehensive and contrasted study of different variables, we can reach a broader analysis perspective in each of the islands.
