This is an abstract from the "Beyond Leaky Pipelines: Exploring Gender Inequalities in Archaeological Practice" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. One of the great parts of being an archaeologist is that it is an excuse to travel: for jobs, research, and conferences. Yet some of us are more free to travel than others. In this paper, I will focus on the experiences of parents—mothers in particular—to explore how the expectations of mobility in...

This poster addresses the lack of equity present in archaeological practice, focusing on the use of high-end technological methods, like image analysis and multispectral satellite remote sensing (MSRS) in particular. The use of these advanced computational tools allows for a new type of regional- and even inter-regional scale research and expands and...
