Summary Community Archaeology is an assessment of the aims, results and validity of the broad spectrum of community archaeology initiatives taking place today.

The 15 papers presented here are startlingly and pleasingly diverse, drawing on the expertise and experience of student archaeologists, academics, professionals, amateurs, educators and independent practitioners.
