摘要：Welcome to the second issue of IANSA for 2015. It's been five years since we started to publish this journal, so this anniversary deserves a little bit of a look back from whence we came. In the beginning few people believed that we could successively run an English-language, scientific, open-access, archaeological journal in central Europe. There were many objections, such as: it's not possible to receive the number of submissions necessary for each issue, because if someone has a high-quality paper, written in English, he would rather send it to some American or West European international journal with a high impact factor. Or: it's not possible to get money for this project when there is a general lack of any in science. However, five years later – and we are still here! Since that time we have published about 82 scientific papers and many editorials, book reviews and obituaries, in a total of eleven issues. We have launched an international Advisory Board composed of highly- respected scholars from five different countries. Authors can communicate with editors via our online editorial system - which has been upgraded just recently. And, what's more, we have been enlisted in many important journal databases, such as: Scopus, DOAJ (Databases of Open Access Journals), Czech National Databases of Scientific Journals, and Ulrich's Periodicals Directory. Next year we would like to send in our application for the Web of Science. We hope we will be able to fulfil our main aim: that of presenting the results of the cooperation between central and eastern European archaeologists and natural scientists at least over the next five years, but we hope for much longer than that.
