From the Editor:
This is a big month for Current Archaeology ‚ with issue 252, we will be available in most W H Smiths and better newsagents across the country. It’s a big change, and one that we hope will bring CA to the attention of an even wider audience.
Issue 252 opens with a celebration of another landmark happening: the 200th episode of Time Team. We took the opportunity to look back at the show, and forwards to where it might be heading in the future. A significant, yet often overlooked, aspect of Time Team is the importance of the archaeological archives created by the programme, both through the Wessex Archaeology site reports and the geophysics surveys ‚ indeed, our second feature covers the growing relevance of geophysics in archaeology and the essential part it plays in the series. As a special extra ‚ and in response to reader demand for information about Time Team’s new season on Channel 4 ‚ don’t miss our complete episode guide!
Our cover feature this month is an exclusive report from Geoffrey Wainwright and Tim Darvill on their work at Stonehenge; and we round off the issue with the story of yet another hoard found by a metal detectorist.
