Since the beginning of the 21st century, the field of archaeology has undergone a process of self-criticism that has revealed the androcentric character of the discipline and its coadunation with the tropes of modernity regarding power, control, and knowledge about things of the past in the present. In the meantime, decolonial archaeologies have developed along multiple fronts, including Indigenous archaeologies, which encompass diverse practices in ontological, epistemological, and contextual terms. The topic of gendering in Indigenous archaeologies is highly relevant to understanding how gender norms and relations shape the practices of professionals working within these contexts. However, this topic has not yet been systematically and comprehensively addressed in the archaeological literature, representing a contribution of considerable originality. Fundamentally, it requires a contextualized approach to reflection and research that takes into account the intersectionalities underlying Indigenous archaeological practices
