I just want to take a moment to note that not only can it be harder than you think, anthropologists actually really fuckin love finding corpses of people that defy gender norms.

There was a Viking warrior they didn’t realize was a woman until recently and they’re still losing their shit about Shieldmaidens and whatnot. Another had a couple’s burial that Old Fogeys just assumed was a man and a woman until some Young Whippersnapper noticed they were both dudes.
