The journal Conservation and Management of Archaeological Sites (CMAS) has established itself as the primary reference in this field, both for active professionals and for university teachers and students. Launched in 1995, it is the only journal that covers both theoretical and practical issues in heritage site management and conservation. Peer-reviewed papers from around the world report on new thinking and best practice in site management and conservation. CMAS also publishes short comments, conference, book and website reviews, and lists relevant new publications.

Topics covered include:

- Cultural, social, ethical and theoretical issues in archaeological site
management and conservation
- Site management
- Historical documentation and condition reporting
- Site deterioration and environmental monitoring
- Preventative conservation, including reburial and protective sheltering of
sites
- Building materials analysis and treatment
- Restoration and reconstruction of buildings
- Visitor management and sustainable tourism
- Site interpretation
- National and international legislation and charters
