Nico Roymans is Emeritus Professor of West-European Archaeology at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. His research focuses on Iron Age and Roman societies, with a special interest in the study of social identities, conflict archaeology, landscape archaeology, and Iron Age material culture. He has directed many large, externally funded research projects. Louis Swinkels was curator of archaeology at the Valkhof Museum in Nijmegen. His research interests lie primarily in the fields of Roman iconography and epigraphy, museum studies and the history of archaeology. Dr. Sasja van der Vaart-Verschoof was awarded a NWO research grant for her PhD project entitled Constructing powerful identities. The conception and meaning of 'rich' Hallstatt burials in the Low Countries (800-500 BC). She obtained her Research Master cum laude in 2012, and her RMA thesis was nominated both for the W.A. van Es Prize for Dutch Archaeology (2012) and the Leiden University thesis prize (2012). As a student, and later as a research assistant she was involved in the Ancestral Mounds project of Dr. David Fontijn. She also worked on the design and construction of the exhibition ""Archaeology of the Netherlands"" during a yearlong internship at the Dutch National Museum of Antiquities.
