In contrast to Carandini's original reconstruction of the complex as four atrium houses, I propose one palatial complex on the Sacra Via that finds some parallels in recently excavated complexes elsewhere, like the Auditorium site in Rome and the Borgo at San Giovenale.

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.

Conference Presentations by Amelia W. Eichengreen
Organized by A. Eichengreen, A. Pierattini, and N. Terrenato. University of Michigan/University of Notre Dame, in partnership with Notre Dame International. Rome, Notre Dame Rome Global Gateway, June 5-6, 2023. https://sites.google.com/umich.edu/the-origins-of-the-forum/home, 2023

Textual sources suggest that the basilica emerged as early as the third century BCE, while archaeologically, the first basilicas in Italy at Rome and Cosa date to the second century BCE. These basilicas emerged fully formed with a Greek name, raising the question of their origin. Consequently, scholars have suggested potential architectural predecessors, ranging from the Atrium Regium to the Hypostyle Hall at Delos. Ultimately, there is no consensus on the origins of the basilica.
While claims about archaic fora have been made for Rome and for other cities, the evidence is controversial and in need of a careful reassessment. Later on, the fragmentary archaeological evidence for fora at Fregellae and Cosa suggests that these spaces also were monumentalized during the third and second centuries BCE. While basilicas are archaeologically identified from their architectural form, early fora often prove more challenging to locate and are often only indicated by the buildings that typically lie adjacent to them, e.g., comitia or temples. Although early basilicas are located on fora, they are typically left out of this debate. Their overlapping functions and relatively synchronized emergence, however, suggest that these two spaces are entwined and that their origins should be considered together.
The conference brings together leading scholars to discuss in detail the origins of these two spaces. At the center of this discussion are the key sites of Rome, Cosa, Pompeii, and Fregellae. While this conference will focus on these sites during the periods of emergence, or respectively the third and second centuries BCE, to unravel these formation processes, this conference aims to consider related aspects of urbanization before and after these periods, with particular reference to the seventh and sixth centuries BCE.

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.

From representations of refugees and the notions of "refuge" to their physical traces in the archaeological record, we hope to discuss how ancient societies experienced and conceptualized the flight and plight of displaced peoples. In light of the recent upsurge in work on ancient Mediterranean migration and exile, as well as current events, new questions arise: What heuristic value does the term " refugee " have for our understanding of the ancient equivalent? How do we define refuge and refugees? Where do we look for the voices of refugees among the ancient evidence? What and where are the sites of " refuge " attested across the ancient Mediterranean world? We welcome papers in any disciplinary field––and interdisciplinary approaches are encouraged––pertaining to the ancient Mediterranean world and surrounding regions, including Egypt, the Near East and the expanses of the Roman Empire, and falling within the period spanning from the Bronze Age to Late Antiquity.
Potential topics could include:
• Literary and artistic representations of flight, refuge, or supplication, for example in epic, tragedy, vase or wall painting.
• Classical reception (contemporary engagements with classical representations of refuge and refugees).
• Philosophical and theoretical conceptualizations of refuge, for example in Stoic thought.
• Locations of refuge, such as sanctuary spaces.
• Intersections between refugees and the related spheres of ancient migration, exile, and diaspora.
• Ancient histories of migration catalyzed by displacement through war or other factors.
• The demographic impact of ancient refugees on ancient cities, landscapes, and economies.
• Archaeological evidence, for example, hoards and their significance in tracing ancient refugees.
• Refugee identity, for example, the transition from being a "refugee" to becoming a citizen of a new city.
The conference will include a roundtable on how the content and themes discussed in the context of the ancient world can be brought into dialogue with the contemporary refugee crisis. Abstracts of no more than 300 words should be emailed to cuconference2016@gmail.com no later than May 2, 2016. In the body of your email, please include your name, institution, contact information, and the title of your abstract. The abstract should be anonymous and sent as an attachment. Papers should be no longer than 20 minutes in length in order to accommodate questions.
Housing accommodations will be provided by Columbia graduate students on a first-come, first-served basis.
