| Sumario: | Over the past five years, the Who Are We? Profiles of the Professional Archaeological Community of Brazil project is dedicated to understanding who are the people who practice archeology in Brazil, outlining challenges of inclusion and representation in the profession. In this article we present a comparative exercise between public data and quantitative data originating from a questionnaire prepared by our research group and answered by 506 people, focusing on the questions that contribute to the understanding of women in Brazilian archeology. The results show that, among other findings, despite the greater presence of women, they have a lower average salary than men in the profession. Pay gaps are even larger when analyzed alongside data on race, and are especially pronounced for Black and Indigenous women. The data presented also demonstrate the impact of motherhood and fatherhood on professional insertion but with a more pronounced impact on women. Among the conclusions presented, we highlight the need to deepen the topic under intersectionality, with the contribution of qualitative data. |
