This paper puts forward some viable concepts and methods needed for the introduction and teaching of archaeology at these levels in Nigeria. These include both formal and informal teaching methods. This paper highlights some problems or challenges that may arise during the implementation process and gives some recommendations. The paper concludes that archaeological education should not be for adults alone. It should also be made available to the young ones. ________________________________________________________________ Résumé: Depuis plus de quatre décennies, les e ´tudes archéologiques au Nigeria sont limitées aux programmes d'enseignement universitaire, et l'enseignement primaire et secondaire de cette matière suscite peu ou pas d'intérêt. Cet article présente quelques concepts et méthodes viables, nécessaires pour l'introduction et l'enseignement de l'archéologie a ` ces niveaux scolaires au Nigeria. Ceux-ci comprennent des méthodes d'enseignement formel et informel. Le présent article souligne certains problèmes ou difficultés qui pourraient survenir au cours du processus de mise en oeuvre et livre quelques recommandations. Il conclut que l'enseignement de l'archéologique ne devrait pas s'adresser aux adultes seulement, mais qu'il devrait e ´galement e ˆtre accessible aux jeunes. ________________________________________________________________

Orile-Owu in the past was an ancient forest kingdom which is believed to be the first settlement outside Ile-Ife, the popularly acclaimed traditional homeland of the Yoruba people. Several notions about this ancient kingdom regarding its status as the cradle of all other Owu communities have led to some generated heated controversies. This preliminary work is an attempt to contribute to the fascinating socio-historical debate.

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!
