From the Editor:
This month we begin the first of a three part series based on Barry Cunliffe’s comprehensive study of the archaeology of Europe – Europe Between the Oceans. Then onto the mystery and intrigue that surrounds the discovery of one of the richest treasures ever found in Britain, The Mildenhall Treasure. The enigmatic Dark Ages have long been shrouded in fantasy and legend: could scrutiny of those historical sources reveal a more prosaic truth? There was nothing fantastic about life in the 19th century slums of Belfast, as recent excavations in the city clearly show.
The Conference Report presents a snapshot of the Archaeology Festival 2009 as well as a round-up of the winners of the first ever Current Archaeology Awards.
