Ahead of this year’s annual UK Festival of Archaeology, we celebrate its theme of Exploring Local Places. Such places can have national significance, as we see on the borders between England and Wales (a castle), and Scotland and England (a bridge). On the Norfolk coast mammoth collectors are finding remains of international importance, while a study of ancient DNA from people buried around Stonehenge is throwing new light on Bronze Age migrants from the European continent. Our cover features a stadium in York, former home to the City Football Club. In a pioneering project, Historic England has been recording memories and helping to see that the site’s redevelopment reflects its history: preserving the local for future generations.
