Editorial

Andrew Selkirk, Editor-in-chief

Andrew Selkirk is responsible for editing the magazine. He has always been interested in archaeology: he did his first dig at school at the age of 13, subsequently went up to Oxford, where he read classics and became President of the Oxford University Archaeological Society.
Believing that you cannot understand the past unless you first understand the present, he then became a Chartered Accountant, but while serving articles, he edited the student magazine Contra. This gave him a taste for editing magazines, so having qualified, he decided to abandon accountancy and launch a new archaeology magazine, called Current Archaeology. This was a success from the start, and has covered virtually all aspects of British archaeology.
Andrew Selkirk is a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, and was Vice-President of the Royal Archaeological Institute, and has served on the councils of the Prehistoric Society, and the Roman Society. He has one of the co-founders of the British Archaeological Awards, and has now launched the Current Archaeology Award for developer funded archaeology. He has a particular interest in amateur archaeology, and is Chairman of the Council for Independent Archaeology which was established to promote archaeology carried out independently of government.
He still hugely enjoys travelling round the country in his camper van, visiting excavations and then writing about them. He is now looking forward to travelling round the world and writing about world excavations.
