We looked at 10 years of archaeology tenure-track job ads (2013–2023) to see what departments actually ask for: topics, methods, regions & application materials.
Paper: doi.org/10.1017/aaq.2025.101…
Data and R code used for the study are openly available here: doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.14798…

Patterns we noticed:
- environmental & public archaeology dominate;
- Indigenous & historical archaeology spike ~2019–21;
- digital methods rise;
- hyper-specialized artifact methods barely appear.

An interesting new technique that unlocks the full potential of Bayesian MCMC analysis, and offers a way around the problems of subjectively codification of continuous variables in archaeology and material culture

科学における再現性、考古学における再現性。「再現性レビュー」の実施という優れた取り組みですね。

The Journal of Archaeological Science (JAS) now does a "reproducibility review" as part of the submission process: elsevier.com/connect/how-rep… If your manuscript mentions using an open source programming language, it will get this review, in addition to the normal peer reviews.
