This month, CA celebrates our 250th issue. Rather than looking back at what has happened since issue 200, however, we found ourselves looking forward. What will we be writing about in issue 300? Where do the opportunities lie for archaeology? The cover image says it all: we, as archaeologists, are heading into the unknown.<\/p>\n
The message of our feature on the cuts focuses on looking for the positives, however distant they may seem. Is there light at the end of the tunnel, or are we making light of a tough situation?<\/p>\n
CA 250 also contains our Current Archaeology Live! 2011 special section, with all the news on this year’s event, including sessions, speakers, and the nominees for the Current Archaeology Award. As ever, your votes decide the winners \u201a so please, mail us back the form from the magazine, or whilst on our website, cast your votes for the best of the best in British archaeology this year.
