Reading @lauraheathstout 's "Intersectional Study of Authorship in Archaeological Journals" just published in American Antiquity - although gender equity in the discipline has improved ... the influx of women has primarily consisted of straight, white, cisgender scholars"

"the more prestigious a journal is, the more dominated by straight, white, cisgender men authors it is likely to be...power to influence archaeological knowledge production continues to be in the hands of the most privileged (male, cisgender, straight, and/or white) researchers."

"When scholars study gender without an intersectional lens, we overlook the diversity within categories such as “man” & “woman,” thereby limiting our understanding of gender dynamics, & we often omit experiences of multiply marginalized people from our studies" @lauraheathstout

Survey of archaeology article authors - "All journals had extremely low numbers of transgender and genderqueer/genderfluid/gender- nonconforming authors. Historical Archaeology led with five occurrences (3%) of publication by non-cisgender authors."

Lots of awesome charts and graphs illustrating what is being published in each journal. "Archaeology may be becoming more multivocal, but some voices are given more attention than others" @lauraheathstout

"Although marginalized people are creating archaeological knowledge, those who publish in high-ranking journals are likely to be rewarded with jobs at prestigious universities, funding, opportunities for future research, & leadership positions in the discipline." @lauraheathstout

Excellent article by @lauraheathstout even provides a solution - more mentorship is needed to get diverse voices into these journals. As an associate editor of Historical Archaeology, I am happy to talk over journal publishing with those seeking such mentorship.
