In recognition of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, Archaeometry is celebrating the resounding impact female researchers have had on the advancement of archaeological science. Archaeometry is proud to point out that women authors have contributed strongly to the journal from the very first issue, in 1958, with Vera Emeleus showing how the newly-developed method of Neutron Activation Analysis could be used to measure trace elements in archaeological pottery and coins. Volume 2, in 1959, featured papers from Kay Hartley and Eva Richards (spectrographic analysis of Romano-British mortaria), Eva Richards and Martin Aitken (spectrographic and magnetic examination of baked clay moulds) and Audrey Blin-Stoyle (Spectrographic analyses of British Middle and Late Bronze Age bronzes). This virtual issue highlights some of the most innovative and ground-breaking research published in the journal by women over the years, and seeks to inspire the next generation of young early-career female researchers to share their knowledge with the archaeological community. We hope you enjoy this virtual issue and take the time to celebrate with us.
