Editorial.

The 180th volume of the Archaeological Journal is introduced by the new editor, who expresses gratitude to the previous editor and invites professionals to contribute their field reports and research papers. The journal covers the archaeology of England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, and Eire, spanning from prehistory to contemporary times. The first issue includes papers on Iron Age and Roman settlements, post-Roman occupation and burial practices, the presence of the Greek language in Roman Britain, the origins of wheel-thrown pottery production in ninth-century England, and the symbolism of carving as a mnemonic tool in Early Medieval Scotland. The issue also includes book reviews on various archaeological topics. [Extracted from the article]
