The CBA and Education: Current Work

The CBA’s work in education fully supports the organisation’s mission of ‘archaeology for all’. We seek to enable as many people as possible to have knowledge of archaeology, and the opportunities to develop their interest through the education system no matter what their age or background.

Our current role has not changed much since the early days of the CBA. We still enable university archaeology departments to meet together and agree common action and mutual support by acting as the secretariat for the Subject Committee for Archaeology.

The CBA and Education: A Short History

Education of the public in archaeology has been a concern of the CBA since its foundation in 1944. This was given a boost in 1977 with the appointment of Mike Corbishley as the CBA’s first Education Officer, with sponsorship from Lloyd’s Bank.
