Archaeologia Cambrensisis a Welsharchaeologicaland historicalscholarly journalpublished annually by theCambrian Archaeological Association.[a]It contains historical essays,excavationreports, and book reviews, as well as society notes and accounts of field visits. The journal has included "much valuable material on the manuscripts,genealogy,heraldry,toponymy,folkloreand literature ofWales".[2][3][4]

Scope[edit]

"The journal covers a broad range of multi-disciplinary topics relating to the archaeology and history of Wales and theMarches."[5]Article topics range from the earliestprehistoricdiscoveries to theindustrial archaeologyandlandscape historyof the 19th and 20th centuries. Occasionally, and particularly in the earlier years, articles have been published on the archaeology of otherCelticlands (Brittany,Cornwall,theIsle of Man,ScotlandandIreland). In the 19th century, articles tended to concentrate on prehistoric monuments (particularlycromlechs,chambered tombsandhill-forts),Romansites, inscribed stones and other discoveries of theEarly Middle Ages,and thearchitectureofmedieval Wales,especially of churches, castles, and monasteries.[6]The range of opinion presented in the 19th century volumes also serves as a source of evidence for historians of the period.[7]

As the 20th century progressed, and into the 21st century, the journal has carried longer articles on excavations and fieldsurveysin Wales. Many of these articles have been grant-aided byCadw.The journal has also carried more synoptic articles treating particular topics in greater depth; for example, the 2005 themed issue largely devoted to theCistercians.[8]Domestic architecture figures prominently, ranging fromstately homesto thevernacular architectureof the Welsh countryside, as does the landscape ofparks and gardens.The evolution of towns and the development ofurban archaeologyin Wales are also covered.[6]
