Love archaeology?

British Archaeology, the UK's most talked about archaeology magazine, will suit anyone with a passion for delving into our past - whether you enjoy watching the latest archaeological TV documentaries, visiting historic buildings or digging on ancient sites!

It is an authoritative, in-depth source of information and comment on what’s new, interesting and important in the world of archaeology.

British Archaeology is a bi-monthly publication from the Council for British Archaeology – an educational charity. The established voice for archaeology in the UK, we're here to help you discover, explore and protect our unique heritage.

Among the articles in the trial issue, Mike Pitts reflects on the challenges facing the modern archaeologist, Jim Leary and David Field investigate traces of neolithic religion around Wiltshire's rivers and Sebastian Payne ponders the importance of the scientific side of archaeology.

Books are regularly reviewed in each issue of the magazine while the humorous 'Spoilheap' column keeps tabs on the curious lives of archaeologists. The 'Briefing' section lists the latest fieldwork excursions, excavations and archaeological conferences to keep readers in touch with the CBA network.

The November December issue of British Archaeology includes all the latest dig news, as well as features on the discovery and investigation of the the Melsonby hoard, an exploration of the ethics of bioarchaeology, excavations at the Norman heart of Sheffield Castle, and mindful approaches to the past. Elsewhere, Laura Basell looks back on a career uncovering early human origins, Mick Sharp explores a Cro-Magnon Rock Shelter at Les Eyzies in France, and we take a look at the community excavations at Great Torrington's motte and bailey in Devon.
