Our research presents potential strategies for the development of more interactive experiences to enhance education, preservation of cultural heritage, and archaeological scholarship. Furthermore, we provide a discussion of the advantages and limitations of incorporating and maintaining XR technologies as foundational tools in museum outreach. We argue that when equipped with proper training of facilitators, allocation of resources to maintain technology, and adequate preparation across staff and departments, virtual technologies in museum programming have the potential to enrich visitor experience within the existing museum environment by diversifying the modes of interaction between individuals and objects, engaging multiple senses, cementing memories, and igniting intellectual curiosity.

We are the first independent, unaffiliated and markedly global publication focused on student academic research in archaeology. ISSN: 2398-2012
We welcome papers addressing any topic and temporal sequence of archaeological interest, based in any geographical area, and engaging with any methodological and/or theoretical framework. IJSRA encourages submissions of papers such as:
• Research articles (up to 6,500 words). • Literature reviews and academic essays (up to 5,000 words). • ‘Debate’ articles based on unpublished or published evidence and that may challenge traditional, long-established academic perspectives (up to 6,000 words). • Condensed field reports or monographs (up to 4,000 words). • Reviews of Books relevant to the discipline, or Reviews of archaeological conferences, focusing particularly on the role and participation of students.
The International Journal of Student Research in Archaeology does not charge any submission or publication fees. Authors must confirm that the content of their original research papers has not been published or accepted for publication elsewhere (although previous presentation in poster format and at conferences is accepted).
All submissions should be full papers written in English or another field-relevant language. If the paper is submitted in a language other than English, an extended summary in English must be provided. Assistance with academic English of publishable articles will be provided if required.
The recommended deadline for submissions for our next issue is 15th March 2017. Please note that we are also accepting submissions on a rolling basis throughout the year.

At IJSRA, we work everyday on a voluntary basis to transform the academic publishing landscape, in our firm belief that authors should not have to pay for publishing, and that making research freely available to a global readership help address growing (academic) inequalities worldwide. We aim to make an impact through an independent, unaffiliated, open-access student forum, without any submission, publication, or subscription fees.
Therefore, what better time to publish our second issue that in this merry Christmas Eve. We have an amazing variety of contents, including original fieldwork in Botswana, a model for undergraduate skills development, Indo-Greek coinage, heritage legislation in the Philippines, medieval perceptions and attitudes to health, a reassessment of Natufian sedentism, a Big Data cross-cultural analysis, a book review, and reviews of many conferences! We hope you enjoy reading these outstanding examples of student scholarship!
We are now accepting submissions for our third issues; we will be reviewing manuscripts on a rolling basis, so submit when you're ready! Recommended deadline: March 15th
As part of our constant efforts to reach as wide an audience as possible, we are always looking for people with diverse research interests to join our growing international team. If you are committed to improve the presence of excellent student scholarship in archaeology, please do get in touch!

Our aim is to become a free, open-access, global forum for the exchange of excellent student scholarship in a context of constructive dialogue and inclusiveness, where students interested in improving our social reality, coming from different backgrounds, can share their ideas and discuss solutions to the challenges facing our discipline. This Journal seeks to enhance the academic experience of students worldwide by publishing their quality research, review articles, perspectives about the state of the field and any additional material useful for students and anyone interested in any aspect of archaeology. We are run by students on a voluntary, not-for-profit basis. We believe that getting involved in the publication process, both in its author and editor aspects, is a great opportunity for university students to develop their writing, reviewing and publishing skills. Our Journal values and encourages diversity. It aims to foster global participation and to attract the submission of the best student research in archaeology, regardless of academic institution, nationality, gender, ethnicity or religion, in order to enhance international cooperation and mutual understanding.
