During the Latial period I, the Latial culture observed a strict distinction between a type of "warrior" burial exclusive to biologically male individuals and a type of "weaver" burial reserved for biologically female burials. These categories manifested themselves through associated burial goods, many of which were largely exclusive to male or female graves. Female "weaver" burials were characterized by objects such as arch-shaped fibulae, combs, spindles, spools, and spindle whorls. It is likely that, during the first Latial period, political power was largely reserved for men, as grave goods typically associated with power and status were generally restricted to male burials. However, there is certain cult items—such as knives—do appear within female graves, perhaps indicating that women were capable of acquiring social influence through the religious sector. Furthermore, such cult items often appear in the graves of female children or infants, which may indicate that these roles or traits may have been viewed as inherent to women and were allotted to them since birth. During period I, male "warrior" burials were typically associated with objects such as miniature weapons, razors, and serpent-shaped fibulae. The presence of militaristic funerary items in male burials may attest to a perceived connection between war and masculinity within Latial society, although the extent to which these goods were purely symbolic representations of power or prestige is unclear. Whereas archaeologists such as Anna Maria Bietti Sestieri argue that socially expressed gender in the Latial culture ought to conform to biological sex, another scholar—Ilona Venderbos—proposes a third, gender-neutral type of burial outfit she labels the "master of the household", which Venderbos suggests violated the gender distinction between male and female burials. These gender distinctions may have weakened over the course of Latial periods II and III as more burials of ambiguous gender identification emerge.
