From the Editor:
The time has come for our 2009 edition of the annual Digs supplement. We’ve provided all the information you need to get out in the field this season – for reviews of last year’s digs, please visit our companion website at http://www.ilovethepast.com.Villas, villas and more villas! This month, we offer two articles on this most Roman of topics; both question whether the collective categorisation of ‘villa’ is really accurate for the plethora of intriguing Romano-British rural sites. We then step backward in time to examine new research from the Neolithic; was prehistory as peaceful as previously thought? Evidence of violence suggests that the Stone Age was very bloody indeed. Finally, we have our second installment of a three-part series based on Barry Cunliffe’s comprehensive study of the archaeology of Europe – Europe Between the Oceans.
