Our new cover features the “cunning women” of Scremby: excavation of an Anglo-Saxon cemetery in Lincolnshire is revealing new insights into specialists involved in healing, divining and the supernatural. We take a sideways look at the devastating fire at Notre-Dame de Paris. We go to the White Mountains of California in the second of our series on the science of radiocarbon dating. And we discover that Michael Faraday, famed for his work with electromagnetism and chemistry, was also a pioneering archaeological scientist. Finally, ancient DNA is again making the headlines: we feature a project that considered one of the key moments in Britain’s long story – the arrival of farming – and we have early news of a major study of Viking Age remains across Europe. Plus all our usual columns, reviews, listings and more.
