Cultural Negotiations
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.
InCultural Negotiationsarchaeologist 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.

Spying by American Archaeologists in World War I
I am interested in detailing two aspects linked to the issue of several archaeologists working for the U.S. Office of val Intelligence (ONI) during the First World War. These spying activities were part of the controversy surrounding the censure of Franz Boas by the American Anthropological Association (AAA) for his published letter of October 1919, in which Boas claimed that four unmed researchers were involved in espioge activities using archaeological research as a front. As they were unmed, who were these four archaeologists?

Comments on a doctoral dissertation by Uta Kresse Raina
Intellectual Imperialism in the Andes: German Anthropologists and Archaeologists in Peru, 1870–1930. 2007 PhD Dissertation, Department of History, Temple University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 236 pp. DAI-AAT 3268194.Works relating to the intellectual history of archaeology by non-archaeologists often take a while to show up in our discipliry history literature base. Thus I was glad to learn of this dissertation by Uta Rai, and to find that it was available through inter-library loan as well as by purchase. And I was particularly delighted when in the first few pages I read (p. 25) that she had identified more than ninety German researchers during this sixty-year period (1870–1930) that had been active in the Peruvian Andes doing archaeology and anthropology.
