British Archaeology is a bi-monthly magazine that looks in depth at the latest archaeology news, discoveries and research within the UK and from British Archaeologists working overseas.

This is the official magazine of the Council for British Archaeology – an educational charity. The established voice for archaeology in the UK, the magazine aims to help readers discover, explore and protect our unique heritage.

The online version of the magazine affords institutions additional functionality such as a fully-searchable archive and unlimited IP-authenticated access, making it an excellent resource for academics and professionals.

Latest Issue:

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.
