Nominations for this year’s Marsh Community Archaeology Awards are now open!

The awards are UK-wide and are run by the CBA with the support of the Marsh Charitable Trust. We hope that you might have one or two dedicated YAC members, a branch, or project you would like to nominate.

This year there are four award categories:

  • Community Archaeologist of the Year – This award recognises an individual volunteer or professional who is going above and beyond their role to contribute to community archaeology.
  • Community Archaeology Project of the Year – This award recognises and promotes the results of research and/or fieldwork led by community groups which have made a substantial contribution to knowledge and wellbeing.
  • Young Archaeologist of the Year – This award is for a young person under the age of 18 who has made an outstanding contribution to community archaeology or a youth engagement project.
  • Youth Engagement Project of the Year – This award is for a project that has made an outstanding contribution to archaeology and youth engagement, ensuring that the participation of young people was central to the delivery of the work.
