Current Archaeology 424 – ON SALE NOW - Current Archaeology

This month’s cover feature takes us to Holme Hall Quarry in South Yorkshire, where archaeologists have uncovered dramatic evidence of how this frontier region was transformed during the early Roman period. Extensive, systematically planned field systems sprang up across the landscape at this time – but do these changes represent an innovation of local Iron Age peoples, or a land-grab by an occupying army? Innovation is a key theme in our next ar…Read Article

Fields and farmsteads: Organising the early Roman frontier region in South Yorkshire

Excavations at Holme Hall Quarry, between Doncaster and Rotherham, have revealed how the landscape was transformed into extensive, carefully planned field systems and farmsteads during the early Roman period. Was this development the work of local Iron Age communities, or a land grab by an occupying army? Francis M Morris, who has recently completed post-excavation analysis and publication through Archaeological Research Services Ltd, explains m…See the Story

The Romans in Colchester

Years ago, I often used to take students to the Castle Museum at Colchester. It killed several birds with one stone. There were great Roman things to see (including the buried remains of the Temple of the Emperor Claudius), but it was also a good prompt for getting students to think about museum display and about the different ways of engaging visitors with the Romans in Britain. I remember that the big hit with the students was always the dress…See the Story

A Roman landscape revealed: Celebrating 20 years of the Culver Archaeological Project - Current Archaeology

Two decades of excavations in East Sussex farmland have uncovered the remains of an unusual enclosed settlement linking the Roman road network with the River Ouse.

North of Lewes in East Sussex, the Upper Ouse Valley is home to an archaeological landsc…Lewes, England · LewesRead Article

Excavating the CA archives – Roman Chester - Current Archaeology

Roman Chester – Deva Victrix – is one of the unquestioned ‘great sites’ of Roman Britain. This was a major military centre from its late 1st-century AD origins through to its abandonment in the late 4th/early 5th centuries AD, and significant parts of the town survive beneath the medieval and modern city. Current Archaeology has been on site there since the start of the magazine, and its repeated visits shine a light not just on the evolution of…Archaeology · ChesterSee the Story

Excavating the CA archives – Offa's Dyke - Current Archaeology

In 1978, Current Archaeology arrived on the scene of works begun six years prior by Manchester University, which surveyed Offa’s Dyke and neighbouring Wat’s Dyke. My column this month is on one of the least-known ‘great sites’ of all: Offa’s Dyke, the linear earthwork that stretches along the Welsh/English border. Most people know Hadrian’s Wall, and a fair few the Antonine Wall, but how many of us can say that we are familiar with Offa’s Dyke, …Archaeology · PrestatynRead Article

Warhorse: Discovering the archaeology of a medieval revolution - Current Archaeology

Mighty warhorses, as richly adorned and armoured as their knightly riders, are an immediately recognisable icon of the medieval period. Until recently, they were understood mainly through analysis of written sources – but what can archaeology add to this picture? Oliver H Creighton, Robert Liddiard, Alan K Outram, Katherine Kanne, Carly Ameen, and Robert Webley explore the key findings of their recently published research. This reconstruction o…Archaeology · New YorkSee the Story

Current Archaeology 422 – ON SALE NOW - Current Archaeology

This month’s cover shows Aberlemno II, a 2.28m-tall Pictish cross slab in Angus. Thought to date to the 8th century, its front depicts a large, elaborately decorated ring-headed cross, while the reverse feature the vivid imagery shown on our cover. Some have suggested that it represents the AD 685 Battle of Nechtansmere between the Picts and the Angles, and while other interpretations have been offered, the stone’s detailed depiction of mounted …Archaeology · LondonSee the Story
