Annual Meeting of the European Association of Archaeologists
Annual Meeting of the European Association of Archaeologists
Vom 30. August bis 2. September 2023 findet die jährliche Konferenz der European Association of Archaeologists (EAA) unter dem Motto „Weaving Narratives“ in Belfast statt. Das IFiF-Projekt "AktArcha" ist Co-Organisatorin der Session #334 "(In)visible Women in History of Archaeology". Die Konferenzsprache ist englisch. Zur Session #334 wurde folgendes bekannt gegeben:
In this session, we would like to shed some light on the roles of women working in and contributing to archaeology and heritage in the history of archaeology. We would like to discuss these questions:
- Why are some early female archaeologists still known today, while others have been forgotten and just recently rediscovered?
- What roles did women have in the early days of archaeology, and how did they contribute to shaping and developing archaeology and heritage as we know it today?
- Which methods can be used to research the history of women in archaeology?
- What kinds of sources and archives can be used to illuminate/reveal the history and networks of women in archaeology, history and heritage?
- In which archaeological settings and corresponding archives should we search for forgotten female archaeologists?
- How can we harness Digital Humanities methodologies to connect women across sites and organisations?
- How can we best represent women's mobility as archaeologists both nationally and internationally?
- What are the particularities of female archaeologists' research and interpretations of the past?
- Why is it still relevant to study the history of female archaeologists today? Why is this research unequally distributed across Europe?
- How can we communicate our findings to increase women's discoverability?
- We welcome papers about individual biographies as well as overviews and comparisons of women and their work in a particular area of archaeology. We are also interested in discussing methods and approaches to research the history of women in archaeology and heritage, and in best-practice examples for communicating womens' work in archaeology and heritage to the public.
