“…The student body is now more diverse than the staff teaching them (Cobb and Croucher 2020: 116). A lack of staff diversity results in the continued promotion of dominant narratives, again often created by men in senior positions (Goodwin and Chavarria 2020). The repetition of such narratives does not allow for non-normative explorations and interpretations, and so, as Cobb and Croucher (2020: 13) warn, '…the more we tell (and teach) narrow and socially specific narratives, the less relevant archaeology (and the historic environment) is and the less sustainable the future of the discipline becomes'.…”

Archaeology, by its very nature, is a highly sensorial discipline. Teaching archaeology should be equally sensorially engaging. However, modern higher education prioritizes the visual and the auditory, and while handling sessions, laboratory work, and site visits are often part of a standard archaeology degree, they vary heavily based on departmental and student resources. At the same time, archaeology is in something of a crisis, tackling a lack of diversity, reduced funding, and a deep legacy of colonialism. This article demonstrates how the incorporation of the theories and methods of sensory archaeology into higher education curriculum can add sensorial density to a degree, enhance research, and at the same time help alleviate some of our current crises. As the first paper to explore the use of sensory archaeology in university education, it also makes an important contribution to the rather limited field of archaeological pedagogical research.

The editorial of the fourth issue of the Theoretical Roman Archaeology Journal (TRAJ) focuses on what we have learned during the COVID-19 pandemic. The editors focus on the positive outcome of the pandemic, while emphasising aspects of the TRAC organisation that can be improved in the coming years. In this editorial we highlight TRAC’s strong tradition of introspection to bring awareness to how we as a community can continue to improve in terms of diversity and inclusivity.
