The Archaeologist Magazine

Cover of The Archaeologist - Issue 110
  • CIfA’s magazine, The Archaeologist, covers important topics for professional archaeologists and anyone interested in professional archaeology. Published three times a year in full colour, the magazine includes 
  • feature articles covering new research, techniques and practice about different parts of the profession 
  • member news celebrating the successes and achievements of our members and their work 
  • short articles updating on the work of the Institute through our committees, volunteers and strategic aims 

If you have some news you would like to pass on to other members, or a project you are keen to promote, please get in touch with the magazine editor, Alex Llewellyn (alex.llewellyn@archaeologists.net). 

Upcoming themes

  • TA125: Social value. Articles are invited that explore the terms ‘social value’ and ‘public benefit’, as well as illustrated examples of projects (development-led or not) that have made an impact in either area. While the terms merit further discussion, we consider that projects with social value will have demonstrated a positive impact on local community, local or individual culture/identity, social inclusion, social interaction, health/wellbeing, education, training, local environment or economy. Examples of offering ‘public benefit’ will more likely have focussed on the dissemination of and engagement in the results of archaeological work itself. Deadline 1 April 2025.
