This meticulously researched reference work documents the role
of women who contributed to the development of Americanist
archaeology from 1865 to 1940. Between the Civil War and World War
II, many women went into anthropology and archaeology, fields that,
at the beginning of this period, welcomed and made room for
amateurs of both genders. But over time, the increasingly
professional structure of these fields diminished or even obscured
the contributions of women due to their lack of access to
prestigious academic employment and publishing opportunities. As a
result, a woman archaeologist during this period often published
her research under her husband's name or as a junior author with
her husband.
In "Cultural Negotiations" archaeologist David L. Browman has
scoured the archaeological literature and archival records of
several institutions to bring the stories of more than two hundred
women in Americanist archaeology to light through detailed
biographies that discuss their contributions and publications. This
work highlights how the social and cultural construction of
archaeology as a field marginalized women and will serve as an
invaluable reference to those researchers who continue to uncover
the history of women in the sciences.
