Almost a decade ago, I stood on a viewing platform at Must Farm in Cambridgeshire, spellbound by the Bronze Age settlement spread before me. We first featured its astonishing archaeology in CA<\/em> 312, so it feels fitting that it is issue 412 that returns to this unique site now that analysis has been published in full.<\/p>\n

Still in Cambridgeshire, our next feature explores thought-provoking research into medieval cemeteries, asking: when faced with uniform ranks of anonymous skeletons, how do you restore their individuality? We then travel to the famous White Cliffs of Dover, where long-buried Second World War sites are being brought to light once more.<\/p>\n

Returning to prehistoric matters, we next trace Professor Keith Ray\u2019s journey from Preseli to Salisbury Plain, walking more than 200 miles in the wake of the Stonehenge bluestones. Chris Catling and I were among the 20 lucky \u2018co-walkers\u2019 invited to spend a day with Keith during his travels \u2013 here Chris explores the initiative\u2019s broader themes, while I add a few memories of its final stretch.<\/p>\n

Speaking of adventures, Deputy Editor Kathryn has gone on maternity leave. I hope you will join me in wishing her all the best, and welcoming Rebecca Preedy, who is covering her role \u2013 and who heroically held the fort while I disappeared on honeymoon for most of May (hence the change to my usual photo: Simon and I were married on the Bluebell Railway in Sussex at the end of April), with the much-appreciated support of Amy, our Editorial Assistant. Thanks, both!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
