Who We Are

CBA Yorkshire enables community archaeology groups in the region to do what they love – archaeology and spreading the word about their work!

CBA Yorkshire lets local societies (our “Affiliate Groups”) offer mutual support for each other, while allowing individual members to find out what is happening around them.

We also promote Yorkshire’s archaeology and cultural heritage to the public and other organisations.
