'''''Archaeologia Cambrensis''''' is a Welsh [[Archaeology|archaeological]] and historical [[scholarly journal]] published annually by the [[Cambrian Archaeological Association]].{{Refn|Except for the first volume of the journal which was published in January 1846 whereas the Association was formed late in the same year.

==Scope==
"The journal covers a broad range of multi-disciplinary topics relating to the archaeology and history of Wales and the [[Welsh Marches|Marches]]."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://cambrians.org.uk/wp/wp-content/uploads/acnotescontributors10may18.pdf|title=Archaeologia Cambrensis. Notes for Contributors|last=Britnell|first=William|date=10 May 2018|website=Cambrian Archaeological Association|access-date=7 March 2020}}</ref> Article topics range from the earliest [[prehistoric]] discoveries to the [[industrial archaeology]] and [[landscape history]] of the 19th and 20th centuries. Occasionally, and particularly in the earlier years, articles have been published on the archaeology of other [[Celtic nations|Celtic]] lands ([[Brittany]], [[Cornwall]], the [[Isle of Man]], [[Scotland]] and [[Ireland]]). In the 19th century, articles tended to concentrate on prehistoric monuments (particularly [[Dolmen|cromlechs]], [[Chamber tombs|chambered tombs]] and [[hill-forts]]), [[Wales in the Roman era|Roman]] sites, inscribed stones and other discoveries of the [[Early Middle Ages]], and the [[architecture]] of [[Wales in the Middle Ages|medieval Wales]], especially of churches, castles, and monasteries.<ref name=":2" /> The range of opinion presented in the 19th century volumes also serves as a source of evidence for historians of the period.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Cowley|first=F. G.|date=1965|title=Index to Archaeologia Cambrensis 1846–1900. (Review)|url=https://journals.library.wales/view/1073091/1073591/293|journal=Welsh History Review|volume=2|issue=1–4|pages=282–283}}</ref>

As the 20th century progressed, and into the 21st century, the journal has carried longer articles on excavations and field [[Survey (archaeology)|surveys]] in Wales. Many of these articles have been grant-aided by [[Cadw]]. The journal has also carried more synoptic articles treating particular topics in greater depth; for example, the 2005 themed issue largely devoted to the [[Cistercians]].<ref>Britnell, William, ed. (2005). ''Archaeologia Cambrensis.'' '''154''': 17–214.</ref> Domestic architecture figures prominently, ranging from [[stately homes]] to the [[vernacular architecture]] of the Welsh countryside, as does the landscape of [[Register of Parks, Gardens and Demesnes of Special Historic Interest|parks and gardens]]. The evolution of towns and the development of [[urban archaeology]] in Wales are also covered.<ref name=":2" />

== Publication history ==
The journal has been published in multiple series with inconsistent volume numbering.<ref name=":2" /> Many volumes have been digitized by the [[Welsh Journals Online]] project at the [[National Library of Wales]].
