keepUser:[email protected] seems to have missed the fact htat there are 2 published books, neither of them her thesis (which dealt with petroglyphs on Gabriola Island). Moreover
Science (journal) published a profile on her and her career.

Also it is redlinked to a number of Wikipedia articles, (because 2nd book was a series of biographies of notable archaeologists).

In sum. What I have found is that Ladies of the Field gets cited, not only on Wikipedia, but also in, you know, real books. That both Ladies and Mermaids were reviewed in
Booklist, and
Publisher's Weekly, but, beyond that, only reviewed in minor outlets like archaeology blogs. That there is an occassional newspaper mention related to the books, and a few other mentions of her as a budding archaeologist, and that she is now a full-time mother. The only big deal article was the profile in Science, but Science is a pretty big deal. That, and the fact that the 2 books are real and are cited does, I think, push her into notability as an author. Albeit not by a wide margin.

Keep - two well-reviewed books since her dissertation is enough for tenure nowadays, even in this tough market.
