Studies in the sociopolitics of archaeology have shown patterns of inequality in publishing. Because this inequality affects the richness of perspectives on the past, the extent of unevenness requires continual documentation. This article explores gendered and institutionally based patterns of authorship in prominent archaeology journals, archaeology papers in general science journals, and Sapiens, a public-facing web magazine, from 2016 to 2021. We find that the representation of women is similar across these two types of journals, for authors both in the United States and abroad. Men still publish significantly more than women though the gap is narrowing due to the publication activity of recent PhDs. Using a large database of PhDs as a baseline for comparison, we find that women publish less in these venues than expected, resulting in an imbalance. Some archaeology programs have a larger presence in journal publishing than others, but this imbalance is not as pervasive as what has been observed in hiring practices. Archaeology journals exhibit healthier measures of diversity, compared to Science, in terms of the institutional affiliation of authors.

考古学社会政治学研究表明出版业存在不平等模式。由于这种不平等影响了人们对过去的看法的丰富性，因此不平衡的程度需要持续记录。本文探讨了著名考古学期刊、普通科学期刊和智人考古学论文中性别和基于制度的作者模式，一本面向公众的网络杂志，从 2016 年到 2021 年。我们发现，对于美国和国外的作者来说，这两类期刊中的女性代表性相似。男性发表的文章仍然明显多于女性，尽管由于最近博士的发表活动，这一差距正在缩小。使用大型博士数据库作为比较基准，我们发现女性在这些场所发表的论文少于预期，导致不平衡。一些考古学项目在期刊出版中的影响力比其他项目更大，但这种不平衡并不像在招聘实践中观察到的那样普遍。与《科学》相比，考古学期刊在作者的机构隶属关系方面表现出更健康的多样性衡量标准。
