This is a big month for Current Archaeology \u201a 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.<\/p>\n
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 \u201a 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 \u201a and in response to reader demand for information about Time Team’s new season on Channel 4 \u201a don’t miss our complete episode guide!<\/p>\n
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.
