The journal Antiquity has announced that Innocent Pikirayi, professor of archaeology at the University of Pretoria, will be its first Antiquity ambassador. Robert Witcher, Antiquity's new editor, states in the February issue of Antiquity that the journal looks forward to working with Innocent Pikirayi "to support more African scholars to publish their research in Antiquity and, in the process, to bring to our readers a more representative sample of world archaeology and a greater range of voices."
