World Archaeology

Current World Archaeology (CWA) is a magazine and online resource for readers interested in archaeology, ancient history, and cultural heritage. Through accessible features, news, and travel writing, it explores discoveries and archaeological sites around the world, from ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome to communities and landscapes across Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas. Its coverage ranges from major historical figures and civilisations to individual artefacts, excavations, architecture, and the people who created them.

Readers can also find themed collections, popular articles, object lessons, and reports from destinations such as Pompeii, Petra, Cappadocia, and Yemen. CWA publishes regular issues, with recent editions examining subjects including the Bayeux Tapestry, the Mongol Empire, Ramses II, and Roman towns. The magazine offers subscriptions, renewals, newsletters, a digital archive, institutional access, and back issues and binders.

It also runs a photography competition, connecting readers with archaeological places and stories through images. Together, its editorial and subscription offerings make CWA a guide to exploring the past
