What we do
Current Archaeology
First published in 1967, Current Archaeology has long been Britain's favourite archaeology magazine, packed with the latest archaeology news and features in a brilliantly readable style.
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 their discoveries; what they found; and what it all means.
World Archaeology
Current World Archaeology explores archaeology on a global scale - from the first emergence of man down to the present day. Founded in 2003, CWA is the UK's most popular magazine on world archaeology, now with more than 10,000 UK subscribers, and a further 30,000 subscribers across the world.
As well as attracting archaeologists at all levels, CWA is a favourite amongst travel enthusiasts, showcasing a stunning array of archaeological sites from far-flung destinations across the globe in every issue.
Minerva
Minerva was founded in 1990 but ceased publishing in 2023.
Ancient Egypt
Ancient Egypt was founded in 2000 and was acquired by Current Publishing in October 2022; it has a global subscription base which makes it the world's most popular egyptology magazine.
Military History Matters
Military History Matters is the new magazine that brings the battles to life with action-packed narrative and authoritative detail. We tell the real stories of the heroes, both celebrated and forgotten, and feats of daring on land, at sea, and in the air.
But MHM is not just about telling the stories: we lift the fog of war and cut through the victors' propaganda to truly analyse what really happened, why decisions were made, and, importantly, who really won. We look at the new research and the new theories, to bring unparalleled analysis and expert opinion to our readers.
Current Archaeology LIVE!
Current Archaeology Awards
The annual Current Archaeology Awards celebrate the projects and publications that have made the pages of CA over the last 12 months, and the people judged to have made outstanding contributions to archaeology.
The nominees are published in Current Archaeology, and voting takes place on the Current Archaeology website. These awards are voted for entirely by the public - there are no panels of judges - so we encourage you to cast your vote for the projects, publications, and people who have inspired you over the last year.
