British Archaeology

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.

Inside British Archaeology 203 we feature all the latest archaeological news and views from across the UK and from the world of antiquity. Our feature articles include: Theatres of Resistance: excavations at Whitechapel Central; A long view on archaeological societies; A Cro-Magnon sells a masterpiece; Arches: a tool for protecting the historic environment; and Heritage for healing. We assess the impact of the Youth Advisory Board after 18 months through the eyes of those involved, use cake to explain stratigraphy, open the casefiles on Howells of Cardiff, and much more.
