welcome to world archaeology
Welcome to Current World Archaeology, the magazine that studies archaeology round the world.
CWA was founded in 2003 as a sister magazine to Current Archaeology which, since 1967, has been reporting on the latest discoveries in British archaeology.
But CWA does not just look at the latest discoveries: it also travels the globe, looking at great monuments around the world, explaining how they came to be the sites - and sights - we see today.
