The CAA is committed to broadening access to archaeology for everyone. We are keen on working closely with the public, including interest groups, communities and schools in archaeology.

Mike Corbishley and his team are available for consultation on education and outreach. The collective expertise of the CAA can contribute to your project by offering advice on outreach and education policies, and can organize training courses, workshops and conferences. The CAA also can help you by providing open days, historic events and re-enactments, outreach events for communities and schools, and educational resources, from design to implementation. … Read More

The Young Archaeologist Club of the Institute of Archaeology organised an open day about archaeological exhibitions and museum displays.
Over 30 pupils worked together and made their own artfefacts, labels and presentations for the exhibition 'Imagining Africa'.
The CAA offered support and assistance.

The CAA Education and Outreach Team developed a Teacher's Handbook about earthen archaeological sites.
The book provides detailed information to teachers on how it can be used to support evidence-based and life-long learning.
The book was developed in collaboration with the Ancient Merv Project of the Institute of Archaeology
