From the Editor:
The time has come, dear readers, for me to bid farewell to Current Archaeology. It has been a fantastic few years working on the magazine and getting to know so many of you! I leave CA in the very capable hands of the incoming Editor, Matthew Symonds, who some of you may recognise as the Acting Editor of Current World Archaeology over the past year, and others as the co-author of the Frontiers of Knowledge: A Research Framework for Hadrian’s Wall. To learn more about Matthew, please see Interview on p. 44.
As I reflect back on my experiences here at CA, one thing that constantly comes to mind is the pleasure of hearing about great projects, by either amateurs or professionals, and most of all the opportunity to publish sites for which there will potentially be no other written reference. We would never hear about many of these projects if it was not for you ‚ our readers ‚ getting in touch to let us know. I cannot say strongly enough how important it is that this continues, now more than ever.
