Abstract

The seeds for this issue were sown at The Enabled Archaeology Foundation’s panel at the 2022 CIfA conference Enabled
archaeology: making field and museum archaeology more inclusive for disabled staff, volunteers and visitors. Several case studies of good accessible and inclusive practice from commercial units, community projects and universities were shared at the conference, stimulating a discussion on the need to identify and highlight the barriers disabled people still face when they want to participate in archaeological activities, and how organisations can address this by adopting the models of good practice that exist. Using the conference as a starting point, CIfA and The Enabled Archaeology Foundation have worked together to create what we hope is a stimulating issue for readers.
