Option 1

 * Article title
 * Latin American social archaeology


 * Article Evaluation
 * The content in this article is relevant to the topic. It is unfinished, with sections like "The Teotihuacan Reunion and the Oaxtepec Group[edit]" left completely blank. I don't believe it is written neutrally as there is another section titled "criticism" that has some biased information with no references, so this leads me to believe either the editor forgot to add the citations or this is their personal opinion. The citation are reliable but unfinished (no constant format) and most are older books in the Spanish language which would prove diffuclt to fact-check. Finally, this article does tackle Wikipedia's equity gap, or the editors are at least attempting to, but there is much to be done before this page gains any sort of legitimacy.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Early expansions of hominins out of Africa


 * Article Evaluation
 * In this article the content is aligned well to the topic, is relevant and up to date. There is a good ratio of references to writing here- plenty of information and the works cited are all up to date. The "see also" section could be updated to involve more relevant topics. I believe this article does cover misrepresented populations, as per Wikipedias equity gap goals, being that it is a otpic covering essentially human history and African history, topics that can sometimes be misrepresented due to scientific racism.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Borden system


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is written neutrally, with very brief and to the point explanations of what this topic is and how it is used. I think some greater context and more than one reference are needed. I dont have much knowledge of this system yet.

 * Borden System

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Peer-polity interaction


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article needs better context, perhaps some history of what peer-polity interaction is or a short explanation rather than direct links to the auhtor. More information are this concept is necessary. The tone is neutral so the work is not biased one way or the other, but it could be improved with better citation.

 * Peer-Polity Interaction

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Systems theory in archaeology


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article strts off very thorough. Brief but well-detailed introduction and the "overview" section is a good length. I would replace some citations with reliable sources, and edit where there are words in red highlight to complete the connection. Each claim does have a citation but aren't adequate or scholarly. The "criticism" section could also be worked on as some claims do not have a direct link or citation associated with them.
