Abstract

This article presents the results of a 2021 international online survey of 419 early career researchers in archaeology. Respondents were passionate about pursuing an academic career, but pessimistic about job and career prospects. Statistics highlight specific obstacles, especially for women, from unstable employment to inequitable practices, and a chronic lack of support. Over 180 open-ended comments reveal worrying levels of workplace bullying and discrimination, particularly targeting women and minorities. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on early career researchers is also examined. The survey's findings are analysed and contextualized within the international higher education sector. A communal effort is necessary to create sustained change, but early career researchers remain hopeful that change can be implemented.

一个不稳定的未来:对早期职业考古学研究者调查的思考

本文介绍了2021年对419名早期考古职业研究人员进行的国际在线调查的结果。受访者对追求学术生涯充满热情，但对工作和职业前景持悲观态度。统计数据突出了具体的障碍，特别是对妇女来说，从不稳定的就业到不公平的做法，以及长期缺乏支持。180多条开放式评论揭示了令人担忧的职场欺凌和歧视程度，尤其是针对女性和少数族裔的欺凌和歧视。还研究了COVID-19大流行对早期职业研究人员的影响。调查结果在国际高等教育部门进行了分析和背景分析。要创造持续的变化，共同的努力是必要的，但是早期的职业研究人员仍然希望变革能够实现。

期刊介绍： The publication organ of the European Association of Archaeologists, the European Journal of Archaeology seeks to promote open debate amongst archaeologists committed to a new idea of Europe in which there is more communication across national frontiers and more interest in interpretation. The journal accepts not only new empirical data and new interpretations of the past but also encourages debate about the role archaeology plays in society, how it should be organized in a changing Europe, and the ethics of archaeological practice. All periods are covered; papers, review articles, interviews and short "debate" pieces are all sought. Whilst English is the primary language of publication in the EJA, papers submitted in French or German will be given equal consideration.
