This journal emanates from the observation that student research, which is carried out conforming to high theoretical and methodological standards, is generally only read by a handful of people. Our aim is to make student research performed at the Faculty of Archaeology, Leiden University, available to a broader public by stimulating these junior archaeologists to channelize their ‘fresh’ and innovative ideas and practice into short, focused articles. Reviews conducted by renowned external scholars further aid in the improvement of these papers and provide invaluable experience for a future academic career. The product of another cycle of writing, reviewing, rewriting and editing lies here in front of you. We wish you a happy and interesting read with our present volume! Show less

Show moreWe are very proud to present the first volume of INTER-SECTION: Innovative Approaches by Junior Archaeological Researchers! This journal emanates from the observation that student research which is carried out conform high theoretical and methodological standards is generally only read by a handful of people, as it is solely reported in theses and other written assignments. Often, however, such work would be a valuable contribution to the archaeological discourse and could provide ‘fresh’, innovative views on Archaeology as a discipline. Our aim is to make student research, carried out at the Faculty of Archaeology, Leiden University, available to a broader public by stimulating these junior archaeologists to write a short, focused article, counselled by a faculty teacher. Reviewing of these articles by renowned external specialists further aids in the amendment of these papers and provides an invaluable experience for a future academic career. INTER-SECTION is a platform where gathered knowledge of the past and innovative ambitions for the future meet, and are united to produce articles that appeal to a broad audience of archaeologists.
