From the Editor:
Our features this month range from new osteological research on some of Britain’s most famous skeletons, to an in-depth look at the mysterious network of small Roman fortifications stretching across southwest Scotland, an examination of mosaics at the end of Roman Britain, and, finally, the Hackney Double Eagles. This hoard of gold coins may turn out to be one of the Portable Antiquities Scheme’s most interesting cases; all will be revealed at the Current Archaeology Live! conference at the British Museum in February.
The conference is looking great this year, and voting for the Current Archaeology awards is fast and furious. Be sure to cast your votes for your favourite projects, books, and people at http://www.archaeologyawards.org.
