Antiquity Trust

Established by Trust Deed in 1963, and amended in 2009, the charitable objectives of The Antiquity Trust (Charity no. 313229) are to promote archaeological research, education and learning by means of the continued publication of the learned periodical called Antiquity.

Our charitable activities meet these objectives through a focus on the journal with the donation of gratis subscriptions to selected academic institutions and award winning students and discounted subscriptions to enrolled students.

We also enhance the awareness of world archaeology through our sponsored plenary lecture at the annual conference of the Theoretical Archaeological Group (TAG), the support of student placements within the journal’s Editorial Office at Durham, the award of the Antiquity and Ben Cullen Prizes and a number of other dissemination and engagement activities.
