NEW! Dig through a curated collection of research - 'Health Pollution and Pathogens' - from across our Archaeology and Classical Studies journals
The articles featured highlight how ancient world societies experienced and managed disease, environmental stress, and exposure to pollutants, drawing on bioarchaeology and scientific analysis to reconstruct health in context. They also examine how human activity - such as industry, settlement, and waste practices - generated contamination that shaped both ecological conditions and population wellbeing. Access is free (where not already open access) until 31 July 2026.
These articles from our Archaeology and Classical Studies journals consider 'games and gaming'.
Articles examine the cultural, social, and historical significance of play across diverse periods and regions, offering a comprehensive overview of current academic perspectives and insights into how games have shaped human experience.
This collection of articles from Cambridge highlights how artificial intelligence is impacting archaeological research.
Articles include: work on AI-driven simulations to reconstruct the lost rules of an ancient game; machine learning to support broader archaeological interpretation; satellite-based AI tools accelerating site detection in the Andes; and the generative models transforming archaeological practice. Together, they underline AI’s growing contribution to discovery, analysis and knowledge dissemination across the discipline.
