London Archaeologist is essential reading on London’s archaeology, history and heritage. ​​​​Published quarterly, the magazine features research and excavation reports, interviews, finds and artefact studies, historical articles, monograph and report previews, book reviews, features on timely topics and key figures in archaeology, plus commentary, news and event listings.  We also get involved in education and community archaeology events, and provide a forum for discussion and advocacy. 

It is the only quarterly devoted to the archaeology of the capital, and has been an indispensable resource since 1968. In 2018 we celebrated 50 years of publication: see the ​news section.
