We’re staying close to home for this #FindsFriday with these two fragments of Roman-era Derbyshire ware pottery found by #TeamCFA in Yorkshire. Produced between the 2nd and 4th centuries, Derbyshire ware travelled far and wide - it's been recorded on sites across central and northern Britain.

We are #hiring! #TeamCFA has a busy autumn ahead, with excavations scheduled across the UK. From prehistoric settlements to a medieval city centre, we have a wide variety of sites which would interest any archaeologist!

#TeamCFA has a classic flinty #FindsFriday for you this week – a lovely late Neolithic to early Bronze Age flint scraper. Found in North Yorkshire, this disc scraper was made out of one thick flint flake. The mottled black you can see across part of its surface is the result of having been burnt.

That's a wrap for the #CIfA2026 Conference! CFA Archaeology was proud to sponsor a bursary for an early career archaeologist, helping make these events more accessible for all.

#TeamCFA had a great time and we’re leaving inspired and ready to shape the future of archaeology. See you next year!

We're ringing in the new year with a fantastic #RingDitch!

All of our offices are fully open and #TeamCFA is back out in the field, beginning a new year of excavation and discovery. We can't wait to see what we'll find in 2025!

This month, CFA's Jenni Morrison helped organise the Vernacular Archaeology Group’s annual spring conference, attended by heritage professionals from across the UK (including fellow #TeamCFA member Carley).

After a rainy weekend, #TeamCFA is back on site - and very excited to see what treasures we'll dig up at the end of this rainbow!

If you were out on site with us, what would your dream archaeological discovery be?

#TeamCFA kicked off Day 1 of the CIfA conference with discussions on Scotland's Archaeology Strategy, catching up with colleagues, and, of course, soaking up the glorious Edinburgh sunshine! Looking forward to another jam-packed day today, stay tuned for more updates 🙌🏺⛏️

It's a beautiful day to be doing archaeology and when we're out in the field, every day brings a new discovery! Using high-tech GPS technology, #TeamCFA maps archaeological trenches and any finds within them, deepening our understanding of the archaeology overall as well as the past and its people.

#TeamCFA has been busy in Gloucestershire, digging and recording a large open-area excavation. There is known prehistoric, Roman, and medieval activity in the wider area and we're looking forward to seeing what kind of remains we've uncovered!

#TeamCFA is at the CIfA Conference!

Stop by the CFA stall to chat with us about archaeology, our latest projects, industry insights, and your favourite site stories. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or just curious, we’d love to meet you and share our passion for cultural heritage!

The sun's out, so the tarp is back!

This behind-the-scenes shot shows how #TeamCFA uses the power of friendship (and flat shadows) to take the best photographs of our excavations, including this massive pit in Suffolk. It's looking great, don't you think?

We're proud to share that one of our own #TeamCFA members, Josh T., has been elected as a committee member of the CIfA Finds Group! In this role, Josh will help support the group officers in shaping and reviewing standards and guidance relating to artefactual finds work in commercial archaeology.

#TeamCFA is busily working across the UK, making the best of the daylight while we have it! We're still in the early stages of this Derbyshire excavation, but the surrounding area has evidence of human activity from the Mesolithic to the post-medieval period and we're excited to see what we find!
