Abstract

Este artículo es el segundo de una serie de dos partes que analiza la investigación actual sobre el acoso en la arqueología. Estudios cualitativos y cuantitativos, como también relatos de activistas y testimonios de sobrevivientes, han establecido que el acoso ocurre a tasas epidémicas en la arqueología. Estos estudios han identificado patrones clave en relación al acoso y señalan posibles intervenciones para prevenirlo, para apoyar a les sobrevivientes y para responsabilizar a les perpetradores. Este artículo discute cinco obstáculos clave a superar en la cultura disciplinaria de la arqueología: normalización, prácticas excluyentes, confraternización, gatekeeping e impedimentos para la presentación de denuncias. Con base en dos paradigmas de salud pública —el modelo socioambiental y los enfoques basados en el trauma— se identifican intervenciones potenciales aplicables a todos los niveles de la práctica arqueológica: individual, relacional, organizacional, comunitario y social.

This article is the second in a two-part series that analyzes current research on harassment in archaeology. Both qualitative and quantitative studies, along with activist narratives and survivor testimonials, have established that harassment is occurring in archaeology at epidemic rates. These studies have also identified key patterns in harassment in archaeology that point to potential interventions that may prevent harassment, support survivors, and hold perpetrators accountable. This article reviews five key obstacles to change in the disciplinary culture of archaeology: normalization, exclusionary practices, fraternization, gatekeeping, and obstacles to reporting. Two public health paradigms—the social-environmental model and trauma-informed approaches—are used to identify interventions that can be taken at all levels of archaeological practice: individual, relational, organizational, community, and societal.
