The Vikings have a fearsome reputation as invaders and warriors, but in this issue we share the surprising story of what happened in England when the fighting was over and they finally settled down. We also bring you a promise of the coming spring with our special feature on the history of gardens. In this luxuriously illustrated section, you will learn how gardens have been a vital part of the human experience since antiquity, and how their different functions–from leisure to food to comfort in the afterlife–reflect our deep need to cultivate the world around us. You also will read about how scientists are using the latest scanning techniques alongside the study of ancient toolmaking technology to understand how our brains may have evolved. And don’t miss the latest news, from the discovery of the oldest piece of pottery from Puritan Boston to the work of scientists trying to document all the archaeological sites in Afghanistan before it is too late. In these stories—and so many more—this issue of Archaeology brings the past to life.
