Via Tom Brughmans, with congratulations to all editors:

 

We are delighted to announce that The Connected Past special issue of the
Journal of Archaeological Method and theory is out now.

We believe the papers in this special issue will be of interest to members
of this list. It aims to provide examples of the critical and innovative use
of network science in archaeology in order to inspire its more widespread
use. The editorial is open access, and it's accompanied by a glossary of
network science techniques and concepts that we hope will prove to be a
useful resource for archaeologists interested in network concepts.

You can find out more about The Connected Past on our
website: http://connectedpast.net/
