ABSTRACT
Despite the increasing number of women involved in Archaeology in Spain, the situation of women in the field of archaeology is strongly shaped by experiences of inequality and discrimination. In order explore how the incidence of sexual harassment and sexism impact the experiences of women in the discipline, we conducted an internet-based survey with the aim to unveil the particularities of archaeology. Our survey was focused on collecting (qualitative and quantitative) data through different questions related to lived experiences of sexual harassment. In this chapter we present data obtained and discuss the consequences of harassment in terms of career development. Our findings showed different harassment dynamics linked to power relations and an atmosphere of impunity in academic settings. The data brought to light by our survey indicated that one out of every two women had suffered some situation of harassment, and it also indicates specific particularities related to how sexual harassment is manifested in the discipline of archaeology and its uniqueness related to fieldwork, social interaction during fieldwork and teamwork.
