How has archaeology helped us learn about the position of women in classical Greece/Rome?

by youngenglishpoet

How have archaeological methods been used to greater our understanding of women in ancient Greece and Rome? What are the advantages of archaeology that we do not get from, say, ancient texts?

Thank you!
