The Council for British Archaeology works with eleven local CBA groups in England and Wales, and in Scotland with our sister organisation, Archaeology Scotland. These groups operate separately from the head CBA and manage their own activities and governance.

Each group supports archaeology in its area by offering advice, promoting public participation, sharing best practice, and helping to safeguard local heritage. They also run their own events programmes and hands-on training activities. 

All the groups welcome new members, in exchange for a nominal fee to support their activity. Many of them also run grant schemes to help assist projects in their area and aspiring archaeologists.
