ALT Title: Archaeology and Me: Finding Yourself in the Faces of the Field
Main text: Archaeology is often heralded by the 'big name' white (often English) archaeologists that represent it in the media; Indiana Jones, Nathan Drake, Laura Croft - but these names, those faces hardly represent the field of archaeology as it is seen (or should be) today. This presentation is all about bringing to light, the work some amazing early and mid-career archaeologists, especially those who are Black, indigenous, disabled, or otherwise vastly underrepresented and their work - which is essential not only to their communities, but to archaeology as a whole. The focus here is twofold. For those wishing to enter the field, to see that there may be a mentor out there who looks like you or experiences the world the way you do. For those already in the field, to highlight the importance of the representation of the living side of communities too often studied almost exclusively by those outside of them" end id
