I'm delighted to say we have won Current Archaeology Book of the Year with our book 'The Old Stones', which so many of you contributed to. Thanks to everyone involved as we really wouldn’t have won it without you. The community enthusiasm aspect really shines through the pages.

I've had an amazing couple of days at Current Archaeology Live which has had some really interesting talks - check out Carly the Editor's really excellent Live Tweeting of the conference here.

Here's more about the book, including reviews from customers at the bottom of the page, and our Ordering Page with special offer prices and signed copies.
