Current World Archaeology, Britain’s most popular world archaeology magazine, tells you about the archaeology of the whole world – from the first emergence of man down to the present day.
History
Current World Archaeology was founded in 2003 as a sister magazine to Current Archaeology which, since 1967, has been reporting on the latest discoveries in British archaeology. As the UK’s most popular magazine on world archaeology, Current World Archaeology now has 10,000 UK subscribers, and a further 20,000 subscribers across the world.
Aims
The magazine aims to bridge the gap between the amateur and the professional in archaeology. Most of the articles are written by the archaeologists involved, and are then edited to ensure it is accessible to all. We aim neither to preach, nor to give a bare recital of facts. Instead we tell you the stories; why the excavators went there; how they made thir discoveries; what they found – and what it all means.
