Oxbeast is right
and that's fine with me, and they do many things as Britain, and publish British Archaeology, which indeed covers Britain (next issue has an articel about Antonine Wall), they have britarch, which is a British mailing list... none of that is in question, and I am even a member of both CBA and AS. The only issue I have is that the specific event, the one in July... the one that is British and covers the UK, is in reality an English/Welsh event... though technically you could say it is UK wide becasue it has a single event in the very southwest of Scotland (about 20 miles from the border ) In scotland there is the equally sucessful Scottish Archaeology Month, both events are grreat at getting people involved in archaeology, both should be complementary and supportive. One is 99.999% in England and Wales the other is 100% in Scotland neither can claim the title of British Archaeology and UK wide status.
Long live support and equality.

So the CBA still covers the whole of Britain in at least some respects.
