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:
In this issue of British Archaeology, we introduce our new editor, we explore all the news from across the UK and beyond, we uncover Caerleon's Roman past, visit the site of the Sanday wreck, shed light on post-Roman social transformation through the lens of personal objects, and look at the career pathways for future archaeologists. Key members of the Vindolanda Trust share their archaeological journey, and we visit the Overton Down polissoir stone in the Avebury landscape. In addition, we share all the latest news from our Casefiles and 8-25 contributors, meet the winners of the 2025 Archaeological Achievement Awards, share a very Tudor recipe, and share our memories of the late Mike Corbishley.
