What's in this Edition?

A special CBA focused edition, celebrating 80 years! 

The November December 2024 issue of British Archaeology marks the 80th anniversary of the Council of British Archaeology (CBA). As such, guest editor Gail Boyle has placed a strong emphasis on showcasing the many strands of the CBA's work to promote engagement with archaeology among all sectors of the population. Features shine a light on four of the Catalysts for Change projects, which form part of the CBA's wider Reconnecting Archaeology project - also a feature. The Festival of Archaeology and Advocacy are also explored, as is the PUNS2 research project. Regular features include Casefiles, 8-25, Active, Sharp Focus, Broadcasting, Antiquity, News and Chloe Duckworth's column.
 


British Archaeology is a bimonthly members’ magazine that is also available in newsagents and by subscription in print and digital
