Just a few years later, Margaret Rossiter famously described the historical process through which female scientists were written out of history and coined the term \u2018the Matilda Effect\u2019. Necessarily, both issues have to be confronted when trying to research and write the history of women\u2019s involvement in the development archaeology.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the research project \u2018Pacific Matildas: Finding the Women in the History of Pacific Archaeology\u2019, we have been developing a bibliographic database that directly aims at addressing the issue of silence around the written legacy of the first women who practiced archaeology in the Pacific and contributed significantly to its growth as a western science, during the 20th century in particular. This poster presents how we have conceptualised and constructed the database, together with methodological and theoretical considerations. The poster will detail how the Pacific Matildas bibliographic database assists in making the written outputs produced by these women visible and accessible by producing an online resource, how we intend to use it as an analytical tool to conduct citation analysis, and how we are trying to integrate the work of women whose contributions are more difficult to capture\u2014typically identified as \u2018wives\u2019, \u2018assistants\u2019, and \u2018indigenous guides\u2019 who are not listed as authors although recognition of their crucial role\/s are hinted at in linguistic translations, acknowledgements, or elsewhere.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_image et_pb_image_0\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aaaconference.com.au\/2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/India-Dilkes-Hall_Addressing-historical-silences.png\" class=\"et_pb_lightbox_image\" title=\"\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1593\" height=\"898\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aaaconference.com.au\/2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/India-Dilkes-Hall_Addressing-historical-silences.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"India-Dilkes-Hall_Addressing-historical-silences\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aaaconference.com.au\/2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/India-Dilkes-Hall_Addressing-historical-silences.png 1593w, https:\/\/www.aaaconference.com.au\/2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/India-Dilkes-Hall_Addressing-historical-silences-1280x722.png 1280w, https:\/\/www.aaaconference.com.au\/2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/India-Dilkes-Hall_Addressing-historical-silences-980x552.png 980w, https:\/\/www.aaaconference.com.au\/2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/India-Dilkes-Hall_Addressing-historical-silences-480x271.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 1593px, 100vw\" class=\"wp-image-96\" \/><\/span><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":96,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"1080","footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aaaconference.com.au\/2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aaaconference.com.au\/2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aaaconference.com.au\/2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aaaconference.com.au\/2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aaaconference.com.au\/2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=94"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.aaaconference.com.au\/2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":98,"href":"https:\/\/www.aaaconference.com.au\/2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94\/revisions\/98"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aaaconference.com.au\/2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/96"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aaaconference.com.au\/2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=94"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aaaconference.com.au\/2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=94"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aaaconference.com.au\/2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=94"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
