| What is Current Archaeology?
It's a magazine devoted to British archaeology; indeed with over 17,000 subscribers, it is by far the biggest magazine devoted to British archaeology. It's in full colour, it is devoted mainly to excavations and it covers all periods. It comes out six times a year - more or less - and it is aimed at what we call the middle market - we aim to bridge the gap between the amateur and the professional. How can I get hold of a copy? Well, we hope that these pages will give a pretty good idea of what it is like. Specimen copies of old issues are available on request. Better still, be rash, take out a subscription. Why isn't CA available in bookshops? Because they are too expensive. Typically, the retailer takes up to a third of the money, the wholesaler takes another third, so there is not much left for the publisher - especially when 'returns' are taken into consideration. We prefer to give you extra colour pages for your money. Is there any foreign archaeology? Occasionally. There are a few articles, mostly on the work of British Schools abroad - we recently did a complete issue on Italian archaeology. Is CA suitable for children? Current Archaeology is not a children's magazine - children's magazines have a tendency to patronise, and CA is definitely not patronising. Having said that, children who have already caught the archaeology bug, devour CA - (they enjoy not being patronised). We are now in the happy position that many of our articles come from excavators who began reading CA as children. Who publishes Current Archaeology? CA is published by the editors, Andrew and Wendy Selkirk. Why don't you take advertising? We do not take page advertising because for small magazines, page advertising is not worth the bother. However, we are always happy to insert leaflets - email us for our rate card.

Yes, we are always delighted to take foreign subscribers, though I hope you will forgive us if we have to charge a little more to pay for the extra postage - £18 instead of £15. We keep this as low as possible because we like having foreign subscribers. We are happy to accept American dollar cheques - otherwise please send a cheque drawn on a British bank. By far the best way to pay from abroad is by quoting your credit card number - we charge you in pounds, you will be charged in your own currency. |
