Foreword from the Subject Editor 

 Firstly, I would like to say a huge thank you to the authors for all their hard work in researching, writing and revising the papers you are about to read. Anthropology and Archaeology are incredible subjects that allow us to better understand the past, present and future of human diversity and the complexity of civilisation. From the question of having children in the face of a climate crisis, to the search for truth amid a global pandemic, to an assessment of the rich heritage of Stanton Low in Buckinghamshire, the articles herein showcase the varied and interesting topics within the fundamental study of humanity. 

 The BILT Student Research Journal has been an amazing opportunity for students to flex their research muscles and gain experience in academic publishing, and as a Subject Editor I am thrilled to have helped make it happen. Of course, I had the benefit of a wonderfully supportive team who were a delight to work with, so thank you to Ben Watson, Tara Leonard and Sebastian Fagan for their effort and support every step of the way. Special thanks to Chloe Reed, Rhona Wilkinson and Ash Tierney for leading the BILT Editorial Board throughout the whole process and for providing a rewarding experience for authors and editors alike. 

 I am so pleased that Anthropology and Archaeology are represented by such high-quality papers, and I hope that this section sparks a new curiosity for the wonderfully complicated world around us.
