Popis: We 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.
