Current Archaeology Award Winners for 2023 announced

The results are in!

We are pleased to share the winners of this year’s CA Awards, announced on 25 February at Current Archaeology Live! 2023.

The awards celebrate the projects and publications that made the pages of the magazine over the past 12 months, and the people judged to have made outstanding contributions to archaeology.

These awards are voted for entirely by the public – there are no panels of judges – so we encouraged you to get involved and choose the projects, publications, and people you wanted to win.
