LINDSAY KITE Some were involved in archaeology because women - especially single women - often traveled, but still never seemed to be recognized for their work at the sites, she said. Many women at the forefront of excavations and discoveries were either not listed as lead contributors or simply recognized as being in the background with phrases like, "Mrs. so-and-so happened to be at the site," Titchener said. "In my classes in the '80s, there were women who seemed to always be in the background," she said of her peers in archaeology classes who seemed to fit the descriptions of how pioneering women in the field were portrayed. "They always seemed, I don't want to say 'nondescript,' but they looked like they could start excavating any minute."

I look at the issues and see where I fit. I'm kind of ignorant — I'm not as politically aware as I should be. At least we have two parties rather than no choice at all."
