Equality, diversity and inclusion in archaeology

3D words stand out on a grey background - "Equity" is shown in white.

As the leading professional body for archaeologists in the UK and overseas, our aim is for archaeology to be a profession that is open to everyone and for more archaeologists to want their professionalism recognised through accreditation. Diversity of thought and a culture based on equality is central to achieving our vision that archaeology is seen as an attractive, rewarding and worthwhile career.

This section of our website is a developing online resource providing information and good practice case studies to help individuals and workplaces to better support archaeologists and become more inclusive. Over time we would like to reflect as many different aspects of equality, diversity, and inclusion relevant to professional archaeology as possible, with life experiences from our members and archaeological organisations.

If you are aware of other links we might use or have good practice case studies you would be happy to share, please get in touch at admin@archaeologists.net.
