Förlagets beskrivning
This volume documents the lives and work of pioneering women archaeologists
in the southeastern United States, from the 1920s through the 1960s, portraying
their professional accomplishments in the context of their personal lives. Some
of the women are working today, and they either wrote their own stories or were
interviewed. Others are no longer living; their biographies are gleaned from
archival research. Rich with humor, tragedy, and important information for the
history of anthropology and archaeology in the South and beyond, this book
includes the story of African-American women excavators on WPA crews during the
Great Depression; tales of innovative lab work, adventurous fieldwork, and
public archaeology; and provocative discussions of women in archaeology and of
gender in the archaeological record. This volume documents the lives and work of pioneering women archaeologists
in the southeastern United States from the 1920s to the 1960s. It portrays
their professional accomplishments in the context of their personal lives. Some
of the women who are still alive present their own stories.
