From the Editor:
This month’s issue covers about as broad a spectrum as you can get in archaeology: from prehistory to Boudica, commercial infrastructure projects, new community archaeology research and modern conflict archaeology. CA 247 is a showcase for the diversity happening in archaeology, and we’re very proud to capture that in our pages.
Prehistory has dominated the archaeological news this summer with stunning finds from Orkney to Kent, and the recent discovery of a Neolithic house at Marden Henge (see News) tops the table. Is it possible that we must now think of the Vale of Pewsey landscape as having equal status with Stonehenge, Silbury and Avebury? Only time, and further excavation, will tell.
This month also sees the first of our four-part series on the archaeology of Ireland’s Celtic Tiger boom ‚ not only is the sheer scale of the projects interesting, but so are the sharp differences between the Irish commercial methodology and ours in Britain. We wrap up the issue with Boudica, Neanderthals, and new research from the CBA.
