COUNCIL FOR BRITISH ARCHAEOLOGY (THE) TRUSTEES, REPORT ICONTINUEDI FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 A message from our Executlve Dlr8¢tor: N•ll Redfern In celebrallng Ihe C8A'$ 80th Anniversary what has struck me the most Is our relalionship with the wide nefvrk of archaeological groups and soclelies that make up the grassroots archaeological community in the UK. Our very origins in 1944 came out of discussions al th& Society ol Anliqu8ri8s London on what role archaeology could play In post-war reconslruclion and renew81. The CBA was founded lo champlon archaeology and the opportunS1ies for research and knowl¢dge enhancemenl through Ihe rebuilding of our historie towns and cllies. One organisalion central lo these discussions was the Congr88s of Archaeological Socielias founded in 1888 to champlon the n81wofk of county archaeology societles that had grown up In the 19th century. Th81 networking role was passed lo th? CBA and the Congress then d18banded. As we reflect on our next 80 years il is cle8r that Ihe CBA ne8ds lo r8Smagine and reluv8nat8 ils networking rolg and th& support we offer to 8rchaeologlcal group5 and soclelies.
