Abstract This article explores the relationship between gender and authorship in conference presentations and publications as a lens to examine current disciplinary sociopolitics and the relative contributions of men and women in California archaeology. I contextualize this analysis within a broader comparison to other regions, including Southeastern archaeology as well as the North American archaeology community at large. I also examine how occupational affiliation in different sectors of archaeology (including academic, agency, museums, private sector/CRM, and others) bears on publishing trends. An evaluation of publishing trends serves as a means to investigate academic merit and visibility, along with the production and validation of knowledge in California archaeology and beyond. Despite growing parity in the numbers of women represented in professional organizations and presenting research at regional and national conferences, disparities remain with respect to publication in peer-reviewed journals, including in Journal of California and Great Basin Anthropology, California Archaeology, Southeastern Archaeology, and American Antiquity. I explore possible reasons for these disparities, including links to occupational affiliation, and conclude with some recommendations for change.

控制叙事：对 SCA 及其他地区性别出版趋势的比较研究

摘要 本文探讨了会议报告和出版物中性别与作者身份之间的关系，以此作为审视当前学科社会政治学以及男性和女性在加州考古学中的相对贡献的一个镜头。我将这一分析与其他地区进行了更广泛的比较，包括东南考古学以及整个北美考古学界。我还研究了考古学不同部门（包括学术、机构、博物馆、私营部门/CRM 等）的职业从属关系如何影响出版趋势。对出版趋势的评估可作为调查学术价值和知名度的一种手段，以及加利福尼亚考古学及其他领域知识的产生和验证。尽管在专业组织中代表并在区域和国家会议上展示研究的女性人数越来越多，但在同行评审期刊上发表的文章仍然存在差异，包括《加利福尼亚杂志》和《大盆地人类学》、《加利福尼亚考古学》、《东南考古学》和美国古代。我探讨了这些差异的可能原因，包括与职业从属关系的联系，并提出了一些变革建议。
