As the Spring Issue (40-1) makes its way to the printer we would like to take this moment to announce the new editor of the JCGBA. After three years, Adrian (Adie) Whitaker will be handing the reins to Dr. Seetha Reddy!

Dr. Reddy has nearly 30 years of experience as both an ethnographer and archaeologist. Her anthropological interests include subsistence systems, settlement patterns, human behavior, and environmental management in pre-contact and Mission Period contexts. She has published extensively on paleoethnobotany, pre-contact subsistence and settlement, Native American persistence, and Mission Period archaeology. She was a founding member and served as chair of the Women in California Archaeology Committee of the Society for California Archaeology. Given her diverse background, Dr. Reddy will bring new perspectives and a wide breadth of knowledge to the Journal.

The role of an editor is no small feat. Thank you, Dr. Whitaker, for your countless hours fostering manuscripts, managing reviews, and for your commitment to the anthropological community.

The panel included Terry Jones and Mark Allen (California Archaeology), Lynn Gamble* (American Antiquity), Rebecca Allen (Historical Archaeology), Todd Braje* (Journal of Island and Coastal Archaeology), and Charlotte Sunseri (San Jose State)

Volume 38 presented a Special Issue on Indigenous Persistence in Colonial California:

"A key aspect of this framework is to move beyond the walls of colonial missions, forts, and ranchos, to consider the places that remained fixed in the memories, mobility, and cultural practices of colonized indigenous peoples (Schneider 2015)"

Thank you to Guest Editors Tsim Schneider (UC Santa Cruz) and Lee Panich (Santa Clara University)

The JCGBA would like to congratulate the Society for California Archaeology for a successful annual meeting.

As a result of the symposiums and papers focusing on gender and archaeology, the JCGBA will now be adopting a double-blind peer-review process.

We hope this processes will be a step in closing the gap in the rate of male and female authorship.

Thank you for the insight.
