Summary
This year鈥檚 first online issue of the 媚姬直播 Journal has just been published. It holds several important articles on the future: 鈥渕useums as good places鈥 on the relevance of museums in modern society, and 鈥渢he potential of open-air sites鈥 to mention just a few. There is lots in it about the Bronze Age too: painting plaster in Thebes and the reconstruction of Bronze Age ceramics in Siberia. All in all we offer five reviewed articles for members only and eight open access articles, open to all. Four of these are reviews of very interesting books about for example Neolithic house reconstructions and Lombard men鈥檚 wear. We also share an obituary of Steve Watts, primitive technologist and much more.

Museums as Good Places
It was a bold and challenging brief. The trustees decided to commission two alternative reports. They invited Patrick Geddes, the pioneering biologist, sociologist, environmentalist, social reformer and city planner, to produce one of these, and T. H. Mawson the other. For Geddes, this was an opportunity to bring together his life's work across many disciplines in one visionary scheme. He spent months, with the assistance of a photographer, recording almost every square yard of the city, before submitting his plan.
