From the Editor:
This month, we spend a lot of time up north. There’s a lot going on in the chilly wilds up there, and we braved the cold to bring you profiles of York’s biggest excavation in the past 25 years, as well as a newly opened reconstruction of a centurion’s house at South Shields. Additionally, Andrew Selkirk profiles his trip along the Antonine Wall in Last Word and discusses the recent bid for World Heritage status: is it worthy? We also go deep inside Silbury Hill and show you what the tunnels were really like, and why it’s necessary to seal the mound forever. By the way. we’re very busy here at CA getting ready for the Archaeology 2008 conference, which is just around the corner. We hope to see you on 9-10 February at the British Museum!
